its odd to see wrinkled leather there, almost looks like somebody sat on the bolster instead of in the seat.. you couldn't expect it on a 50K miles car(no matter the 19 years ag)

But I guess tall dutchies have more problem sliding in with a high bolster

Low cars and tall/big drivers definitely lead to bolster wear. I was 6’ and 250-260 when I had the lotus and that bolster showed it.

I got my 911 back from the paint magic place. Most all of the rock chips have vanished, some of the worst are certainly better, but not perfect.

Anyway the guy that own the place had to drive my 911 from the front to the garage in back. His is easily 6'4' and he pulsed the seat to the back of the rails. I am 6 foot tall, and I could not push the clutch in, and I could hardly touch the throttle. Easy to slide the seat forward.

another atlas grey car drops off with sagging headliner.
There is no way i'm going to go buy a car for 35 grand with the roof stapled up.




Why do people think they can sell a car for such money, and just not fix that properly, before selling.

They are wasting everybodies time and even more of their own time.

I'm not going to buy it like that, cause I don't feel like buying a project, Its not something I can fix myself, I don't have the patience for it.. And Its already been stapled.. I'm not going to improve on that.
