Cleaned the fender liners.
Little cleaning in the fender-wells.
Looking around underneath...
Even though it was steam cleaned...and given the mileage...I'm still surprised how clean this car is in spots.

Looks great! It is impressive how well most of the bits underneath survive. Those fender liners are really nice- how many miles on #225?
Right transmission mount looks narrow- replaced at some point?
Wheelwells are also gorgeous with a little elbow grease- two red horns- #107 has 1 red and 1 black.

I'm looking forward to what you have planned for #225. I just pulled the trigger on a similar 1978 #280 car this month. A very original car with 84k miles, 5 speed, cork/cloth interior, runs very smooth, but needs the normal 928 TLC and upgrades. I paid $4,500 sight unseen and had it "Ushipped". Happy with the deal.

Pics of #280 --- Liveable interior for now, but plan to do a full Pasha Retro. Car came with full interior carpet kit. I've got lots of spare parts from my other cars: Transmissions with LSD, torque tubes, hardware, 310 hp euro motor( ???tempting transplant), brakes, phone dials ect.
We all get saggy after a few years......, But I'm very happy having manual seats
Rear seat did not see many rears
cracked dash...Now, very fixable
