Hi,
I'm looking at buying a C3 something I have liked for some time. I have a couple of questions I hope a kind member or two can help me with.
The history states Carrera in a few places but also SC its R reg and is a bit of a project but something I'd like to do. Been stored and ran only a few miles every now and again for the past 25 years or so.
The VIN is 9117600461. can some kind of search be done?
I have a sale doc. which has it as a 911 Carrera 3 sport, front a rear spoilers, extended arches and turbo wheels, copper metallic with cork conolly hide trim, elec sunroof, tinted elec windows, radio/stereo and elec aerial. Which it has/is.
I have a few bits I've spotted I'm not sure are correct or not if I could ask the too?
The body work is not looking too good. Had a re-spray in the original colour 27 years ago, here are some pic's
Looks to be surface bubbles but not sure? There are a few other small rust blisters like the one just back from the bonnet (you can see the tint of rusty orange) around the 5mm in length here and there.
Sorry wrong way round. Looks like paint reaction and next to the wrinkles there is some cracking where the top coat is lifting just above the black decal.
The worst bit on the whole car is this under the headlighjt, it has cracked open!eeek is it patchable or a new wing? cost?
Full repsray in order (z6z6) I'm thinking 5-6K but unsure on possible problems with the rust bubbles. Ideas and advice please.
Next bit is floor pan, sills kidney bowls, inner wings all look good on first inspection new MOT too so structure looks pretty good.
Not so good is it looks like oil has seeped through the rusty but in one piece exhaust and is smoking when hot, Ideas on likely oil leak (engine bay is pristine) and cost advice on swapping the exhaust.
Final quick one, something I cant seem to find in any forum is this, what are these levers for by the hand brake, heater something???
Fingers crossed, going back for a second look this weekend when taxed and ready to drive.
Any advice and help greafully recieved.
Many Thanks
