I'll just start with some snappies and add text later. I found the car through a casual conversation with a friend who had a neighbor with an old car sitting in the garage. After changing the coil, some fuel lines and cleaning the tank, it fired up and runs surprisingly well. I'll go into details soon, off to work for now....

Vielen Dank fur die Antwertwen Meine Freunde! (thank you for the answers my friends!)
The car has problems, the clear coat on the original paint (code 96D, Silver) failed long ago and needs a strip, fill and exterior recoat. There are also quite a few dents, scratches and a front bumper hit. All of the interior paint is good. The car is 95-99% rust free but needs attention in the battery tray and various small areas. All of the suspension areas, fenders, front and rear corners are good. Still working on the drive train, all of the rubber/braided hoses are old and I had to replace a few just to get it running. I'm sure there will be a lot of work on the drive train. Did I mention that this car has been sitting for fifteen years? All of the tires were flat but after pumping them up they are still holding air after three weeks, cool! I just dropped the car off to Eric Jones Motorsports to get the brakes functioning and general inspection. I am too busy to tinker at the moment and I want to get this car on the road. He's a top tier tech in Eugene, very pro with Porsche. Once we get it on the road I will deal with cosmetics and originality. More later... Trim great, paint bad. |
