I know you'll likely get a PPI done by someone that has knowledge of these cars, but for your questions, here's my opinion...

I suspect the gauge bezels probably are rusted from excess humidity or perhaps proximity to oceans. Where did the car come from?

I can't speak for the windows or S/R. A newer switch might have a more matte finish as it hasn't been worn from use and being touched by people's hands. The usual electrical troubleshooting methods will likely solve these two issues.

Bubbling by the accordions? Never heard of it. However, the bumpers are aluminum. To repair, they'd need to be removed and the corrosion fixed and then painted.

Regarding the windshield, instead of going with a 964 type which may or may not be easy to do, by all accounts, the 993 version seems to be relatively easy.

Wheels: Paint 'em. The shark fin decal can be removed, but the surrounding area will need to be polished as the paint under will not have been exposed to the elements. With the white paint, any oxidation will likely be less obvious, but the polish will still need to be done to make it invisible.


Good luck!
