Hey Gang,
This looks like one this group can (and should) sink their teeth into. Michele had her teener stolen 8 years ago and it was recovered recently (a little worse for wear). I've offered a set of calipers up... If you have any parts languishing in a dark dank corner of your garage or shop... perhaps the Karma Wizard may shine favorably on you if you helped Michele. We haven't had a good feel good story here in a while and this one is a keeper: http://flatsixes.com/porsche-culture/stole...michele-benson/ Dig in! |

I took an e-brake handle and a door handle sleeve(?) over to the shop today and checked out the car. Probably the most serious issues is how badly bitten it is by rust. Rear trunk lid is probably history as well as the front lid. The cowl at the windshield is also swiss cheese. The husband said rust at the hell hole goes all the way through. They could really use sheet metal repair parts and the expertise to cut and weld. The drivers seat has been shredded. I didn't even realize there was a wire structure in the headrest on these cars. I live a few blocks away from his shop and offered any help I can give.
This will definitely be a labor of love. |

You are right on on the body assessment it's a little frightening to me. But I am determined to do this for my little girl. It's not her fault that she was mistreated. Just glad she's home to help put it right. Best to you. Michèle |
