Anybody on here know who owns this blue ex flood damaged (?) 993 reg R428 LVD ?
Yes .. Me.
Happy to answer as many questions as needed. It was advertised on here and on Pistonheads. Had so many time wasters you would not believe.
Even had 5 people begging me to sell it to them after it went to historics !
Anyway rant over!
It was flood damaged in something like 2007 from memory (haven't got the paperwork with me) and was never actually off the road, it was valued at £12k at the time ... yes the were worth that little.
It had new Porsche alarm / lights etc that I suspect would have been 40% of the £12k hence the write off.
As far as I can tell it never had any water in the cabin, no corroded connections all electrical work etc etc
I did the rear bumper supports, find me one that's not had them done or doesn't need them doing.
I put the genuine rs kit on it,genuine rs steering wheel, the wheels on, the bilstiens, upper and lower cam cover gaskets, steering rack rebuild etc etc all genuine Porsche parts.
Just had new front screen and scuttle / widescreen surround painted
If was also just fully inspected and is now down on Hpi as condition inspected, you never loose the cat c bit but it shows it had to meet rigorous standards to be given the all clear and they were very rigorous !! 4hour inspection !
Great car, drives amazingly paint not the best but a a lot of car for the money.
I had instant regret as soon as I got historics to consign it and if it doesn't sell I will be more than happy to keep it.
