Well in the turtles pace that I have been advancing on Porsche ownership, I have finally completed a PPI by our local Porsche guy.
The car in question is my next door neighbors 84 ROW 911. 95K mi, he's owned it for 9 yrs and while it has needs none are deal breakers, all within my abilities as long as my internet feed to PP keeps working.
Basic oil, trans fluid, brake fl, air filter, plugs and valve adj. Sticky front caliper, turn signal replacement, and steering column bearing.
One small isolated rust spot, and lastly the seat fabric (Pasha) is shot and needs replacing. In some ways that's the biggest issue time wise. Paints tired, but can be cleaned up, maybe we should start going for the Patina look that's all the rage these days?
So the PPI said basically, a good sound fun car that can be brought in to shape with not too much work. It's had some worthwhile mods. Chip, MAF, exhaust.
So I guess it's time to start talking seriously with my neighbor.
A little weeping oil
Fabric available in Germany still.
