Default 49.300 $ and looks like ****.....

It shore is beautiful on the out side. I paid 49.300 $ for it, but as always....looks like **** underneath. Today I will clean it up. The cost is around 100 $ in cleaning material, 50 $ in small parts and 20 hours of my own time. I do one wheel arch per evening..... just wait and see.

Looks like an oil leak from the engine, or maybe the power steering hose? The oil line, has that been hammered flat or is that rubbing, check the wheel / tyre because you might need a spacer in there.

Looks great from the outside..

I love those rear flares...

Be sure and keep the ugly side down until you get it cleaned up

"looks like **** underneath."
Doesn't look all that bad to me .

And like Southampton76 said , that oil line , danger , danger ...

If you know anyone in Sweden that would like to buy my old 964 for that sort of money , send them my way .

Hmmmmm....concerning the oil leak, looks like the former owner must have done 120 miles an hour in reverse gear....the spill is pointing forward!

Here’s the right rear with 3 hours work of cleaning, funny color. seams like the Jubi:s Viola metallic is sprayed by hand? Even in the trunk there is only this grey color.....She is now Very dirty on top instead as you can see….

Looks like an un tight clamp, or a hasty fill of engine oil.....

Thats the air flow because of the wheel spinning .

wow, i might have to fly you over to the US so you can clean mine.

looks like you have a leak from the p/s reservoir to p/s pump hose.
try tightening up the hose clamp.

That color is just so cool.

What cleaning agents are you using on the wheelwells?

That is amazing Polman, would you mind sharing your secret? I thought you were out of your mind to spend 20 hours cleaning a wheel well until I saw the results. That is stunning!
