Just drove a very nice and honest 88 coupe in GP White / Dark Navy. I've never seen this combo in person and didn't think i'd like it but it was very handsome. The car had a few flaws, none terminal, but they're things I'm less familiar with and need some opinions on cost and severity...
1. I'll start with the weirdest one... The instrument bezels were
rusty!? See pics. Has anyone seen this before? I've yet to run the carfax to check that the car was not submerged in the ocean at some point but the remainder of the interior looks age appropriate and very well cared for without being suspiciously perfect.
2. The sunroof and P/S window are inop. Seller did not have any ideas on cause or remedy. I imagine these are common problems - any common remedies? Both switches for the P/S window appear to be not stock.
3. There was a small amount of bubbling by the front bumper accordions ( hard to see in pic). I understand this is common. How serious is the repair?
4. Seller told me the front windshield whistles on the hwy a bit but doesn't leak, recommended replacing the seal. The windshield was stamped Pilkington so i'm presuming it was replaced at some point and the seal was not perfectly reinstalled. How much does the 964 swap cost and are all the parts available new?
5. This is not a flaw but personal preference. The car is GP white with matching 16" Fuchs and black stone guards. I don't like either - would prefer no stone guards and black center Fuchs. The fuchs (which I understand were an at-cost option) can be sold or painted - how hard is it to remove stone guards and is the paint typically non-matching below due to age?
