Default Inspect my 89 951, LOTS OF PICS

Whatever is missing, broken, out of place, etc, please let me know. Please excuse the dirty engine bay. And regarding the speed yellow oversray, I'm taking the car back to the shop on the 29th and having them fix everything, so the paint will be perfect. And yes, I will paint my engine bay soon [IMG] http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/engine_bay_10.jpg [/IMG]

The throttle cable looks a little loose, but that's an easy fix. Also, the headlight motor has a rubber cover missing. There's a **** under there that is used to manually raise/lower the headlights. You might want to make sure the headlights are going up and down properly.

kind of lousy paint job if you ask me. if they didn't take time to mask things off to prevent overspray, i'd be leary of proper prep work being done at all. are their any bubbles, hair, dust, etc in the paint?


other than that, the engine looks ok. might want to replace the yellow coolant reservoir and PS fluid reservoir.


POST PICS OF THE WHOLE CAR!!! I love speed yellow!

This engine bay looks like it will clean up nicely with a little elbow grease! Not important, but if the car had one before, the rubber headlight motor cover is missing.

Also, this 951 doesn't appear to have the 2 engine protection pans. I assume you bought it like this.

Overspray city!!! I hate that!! Also that original blue was an awsome colour.. it's a pity the car is yellow.

Also, I see PS fluid leaking..

Lets see a full view of the car so I can say some nice things!!!

Looks like you found all the apparent problems/visible issues. Looks like the P/S adjuster is bent. No big deal.

Within the next few weeks, the valence will be black, the rockers will be black, I'm going to get a black air splitter, and am going to powdercoat the wheels black.
