Bought a 1982 911 3.0 SC last November for £4250. Its a bit tatty bodywork wise and interior but basically sound and drives OK.
Now that i've driven it for a bit and found out a lot more about 911's I'm wondering what to do. Whether its worth spending money on it or trying to sell it and put the money to a better car.
The current issues are that althought the engine appears fairly smooth and pulls well there is a clattering noise around 4000 revs. It has been suggested to me that this is the cylinder head gasket. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how much to repair.?
Also the bumpers are fairly tatty and would appear to need to be dismantled and resprayed. Is it true that because they are aluminium they can simply be ground down?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 14805
