OK here is your chance to post pictures of any type of frame damage you have,
or have seen on a 928.

I have seen more than few frame rails split or cracked in between the lower control arm bolting points, this seems to start from internal frame rail corrosion then finally a split
Also crushed support memebers under the driver and passenger foot wells.
Dont forget to examine the bumper shock mounting points if the shocks are collapsed then you want to inspect the surrounding area as it may have accordioned.
I dont have any pictures to post yet

You are talking REAL frame damage.....which I too have seen a few times where the frame rail just splits open.

I knew I should have been taking pictures all along. I bet James and Mark A would win in this one.

Like many things the "photos" are only in my head.....

there were some good ones posted last night, good thing I saved them.

I didn't get to see the posts last night. Were gone by the time I read the thread.

SeanR

I wish I had saved them. Had no idea he's delete them and then close the thread. Would you mind sending them to me at Sean @ 928docs dot com?

I usually save any pics that look interesting, and those sure were.

Sounds like I missed some interesting stuff in the other read. I read the first few pages of it but didn't look at it the last couple days.

Nah..you didn't miss anything.. want pics... go out to your car... lay down and look under the drivers side...see squashed underbody parts... carry on....

I saved them because I had never seen the frame members beat up so bad.

SeanR

Thanks.

When I feel like braving the heat, I'll go out and get pictures of mine and post up.

Did you see them?

Tom. M

yep...seen worse...and I've seen a lot... Wouldn't deter me from picking up a 928 any more than fender or door dents..now collapsed bumper shocks...that would concern me..

blown 87

I have seen a bunch myself, never have seen any that bad.

If it were my car I would have them replaced, I fear in a frontal collision that the car might buckle up right where the damage is, which is right under the driver seat.

Here's the ones I've got here now. Passenger side on all, drivers side are all the same.
