New to me 1983 Porsche 911 SC
Just got a 1983 Porsche 911 SC in guards red.
Two owner car with 91,000 miles. She runs great-still getting used to the 915 tranny but so far so good. Paint and interior looks great just need a little love. I will be correcting the paint and interior and will document the process here.
This is my second 911 and I'm digging it.

Hey McRenn
Welcome aboard or is that welcome to the board! Looks nice. I'm kind of fond of Guards Red. Is that a sunroof delete?
