While the project is in the shop and I spend more money on rear mounts/side rubbers/polys/M030arbs/brake hoses/new discs/rear CS shelf etc I took the time to write to the previous owner in Bristol telling him about my plans for the car.
He very kindly sent me a load of bills plus the original sevice book, old MOT's and a spare key with spare immobiliser key[
] Proves most Porsche people are proper.
Thanks Eddie.
Looking through it all it seems the mileage is right and at 60k - now showing 70k - it had nearly £2k spent on it at Dick Lovetts including a new clutch with fork and the belts & rollers[] Also since 50k front wheel brg, new rear shocks, DME, sunroof relay, fan relay & sender unit, speakers, new locking wheel nuts, etc etc.
May still have to change the cam chain & tensioners yet. Am going to remove the cam cover for painting and to fix slightly weepy area so will have a good look.
I will get some pics sorted when I register on the interweb picture site.
Looked at it today in the shop and they are just starting to remove the rear bumper. I saw the mechanism that unlocks the rear hatch. No wonder the CS always felt lighter than the advertised 50kg less. Talk about over engineered[&:]
As mentioned, I've aquired a CS shelf so the rear belts/seats are going. May be tempted to remove the rear wash wipe motor & hatch lock plus associated heavyweight gear[]
I wonder if anyone has a CS for scrap I can snaffle the bits from[]
Cheers
Dave
