depends on what you want. i want liposuction, but as long as i can still fit into the 930, i'm not going to budge on the price.

Johnny,

Lipo's got to be pretty cheap in 'Nam, compared to the good ole USA.

Life is too short.

Get what you want.

I don't know.
How available is cash? Time? Tools? Space to work?

It will certainly draw your time and money.

IIRC, your car is pretty nice, though.

How about some mo-better pictures?
Where are you, anyway?

Getting them running solidly is enough work.
Make it safe and reliable, then drive it as-is.

That's pretty much all I'm doing these days.

If your car has a solid engine and transmission, then the rest is easy.
Leave the body as-is if you can.

Paint is good enough as-is.
Should actually buff-out pretty well if original.

Did it get new fenders, though? I was wondering outloud in the other thread about the apparent lack of side markers.

Why not post a bunch more pictures for us?


We have one that apparently got a full set of Euro sheet metal and fixtures put on front.

I'm patching them up and the whole family is driving them.

Well, a PPI by a 928 specialist might have caught some of that...just kidding.

Might be time to punt if you aren't crazy into it.
