Definitely will take you up on the offer. The car is getting AC work and while it's currently on a lift I've had some time to try and see what brackets or components were still attached. Didn't seem to have much left at all. There is a broken bolt or stud that the mechanic is going to remove for me later where I believe the center back bolt secures to on the undertray. I'll go back next week and take some detailed pics of my current setup so we can compare notes. Thanks for the offer. I'll PM you later to get your number.

You won't need that center rear bolt. It acts a. It as a guide for the rear shields, but it sticks down so far in all likelihood yu will hit it at some point and bend it again.

All back on the car. I agree with comments the side heat shields are to reflect the heat from the exhaust components and protect the wires / valve covers et al. Good luck finding the parts.

Mainja

Gotcha, so don't worry about extracting what's left. Thanks for the input. Will hit you back up next week with the pics.

I can find them, but the bargain hunting is what's key. At least I got the undertray for $175.00 a few weeks ago. That was a bargain compared to brand new from Porsche or Pelican.

50-100 each is what you will find the others for. You may pick up pairs or a set at a cheaper per unit price. There are four pieces to buy.

And if you get stuck, you just call a dismantler and pay up a bit. No biggie.

Post some pics when you are next under the car. So we can see what's there

At the time of purchase, I had zero knowledge of anything Porsche related. I was made aware it needed some restoration items but nothing that affected performance and she drove like a dream. I was in love from the start. Buying her for $20k was a bargain that I figured over time, I would work out any issues. All typical items such as the dual mass flywheel, wheel bearings, brakes, valve adjustment and tuning have been dealt with to date along with replace odds and ends. After the AC is complete the only steps beside this, next step to find a solid paint guy who knows Porsches and the driver seat needs something done with the bolster section or replace the whole leather cover. So the end is in site and she is almost back to stock, minus I have a whale tale lid on her now but I still have the original lid in case.

I've dealt with LA Dismantlers on occasion but never tried Autobahn. I'll see what they have to offer. Thanks for the info.

Plenty of good advise about heat shields being necessary and why owners dump the lower tray but it's also worth mentioning to check the oil cooler fan is working on both low and high speed. I would guess 75% or more will not work on low speed for one reason or another. If your car runs with oil temp at 9 o'clock you can be fairly sure the low speed fan ain't working.

I think its ok to have the tray in cooler climates, whenever i get a 964 that has a tray on it, i take it rite off, have about 3 of those in my garage collecting dust.

You are pretty much spot on. The ones that you don't need are:



And then you seem to be missing the two exhaust shields in front of the car as well. Hard to tell from the pics.

Anyway- those are the parts you need to source.

I'll call you this morning to discuss.

I drive with the tray on... daily until 6 months ago, now just very regularly. Can't say I have a overheating problem and it goes to 120 here, with high humidity (well over 85%, but never at 120 that would be at 105).

So take that for what it is, but if cars have cooling problems I suspect some systems are not working 100%. Extended traffic jams may prove to be an issue, but not so much here. Hot weather and LA traffic, that I wouldn't try.
