20 K OF BODYWORK! blimey.Bring me your stripped out shell, and we will weld it, fill it, prime it and paint it in any shade you like for 12K!clarkycat said:A lot of it of it you can't see without a ramp or without taking panels off:
kidney bowls, A pillars, B pillars, inner sill, behind front wings, behind rear wings, the front wings by the headlights, front wings behind the headlights, behind the rear lights, the windscreen scuttle, the rear hatch where the sunroof drains have rotted, under the battery, the impact bumper strut mounting points, the aluminium laminated bumpers and wing end sections, rear arch above the rear light clusters.
That's about £20k of bodywork, assuming the running gear and interior are spot on.
Forget a 'really good' bodyshop or someone that 'knows loads' about them, or a place that 'works on loads of Porsches'. Get an expert inspection by someone that knows classic Porsche bodywork inside out.
For me the latter found and showed me a good £8k worth of rot the former failed to find on their paid inspection.
:sad:
One that has had it all done, by the right place, with photos to prove is worth £10,000-£15,000 more than one that has not. That's why their prices are that far apart mate.
My 993 cost less to buy than my 3.2 needed spending on it's bodywork, true story, I did not get the right people to inspect it, don't buy with your heart.
The plus is the impact bumper cars are the last real 911's, your can't park anywhere without people stopping to look and chat, nobody gives a stuff about the ten a penny mass produced everyday modern ones.
And they take decades to rot, four years on my bubbly old 3.2 is still being driven and enjoyed with none of the above 'needed' work done.
