Hey everyone!
Another 930 conversion has caught my eye and my heart. This one was done in 87' in California with an 85 car and an 87 engine.
Engine seems to be in great shape, no rust, 5-speed 915 transmission, really nice interior... has some issues though.
First one is these odd paint cracks. Wide body is all steel apparently and passed the magnet test but it looks like there might be a thin layer of pale yellow putty used smooth them out which has cause the paint to crack from expanding and contracting over the years? Just my guess, wondered if anyone has seen anything like it and if its a nightmare (I'll post a better picture later, forgot my dslr cable)
There are a few of these cracks around the car and it some small body issues; gasket seal on the taillights is completely dried out, hood strut doesn't work, side skirt edges rough, and a million paint chips.
There is also a small oil leak, not from the engine but on a pipe by the rear passenger fender. Doesn't look too serious but I'm not well versed in these cars.
I figure I can paint and fix most of the small defects if the engine and everything looks good from a ppi. I have some much better pictures I took this morning I'll post later this evening.
So my question is: what do you think this car is worth? A Frankenstein mash-up looking to be an on going nightmare? or an affordable 930 which could be polished (heavily) into a real gem.
Thanks ever so much for your time!
