ha, ha, ran out of cash. same old story.
I haven't owned a Porka since, been through classic VW's, and just utilitarian cars since, I currently own an automatic L200 pick-up lol
Been into bikes for a while, but had a massive accident at 20mph in the pits at Brands, busted ankle, two compound femurs, smashed right wrist, right thumb and broken left hand. That was back in May, still learning to walk again, and can only drive an auto at present.
Needless to say, my biking days are over, and once I'm fully recoved I'll be building a track 964, maybe 9 months away. Looking at availabilty and prices at the moment.

Now is the time or excuse to build a track 964 John. As bikes are a killer no matter how careful, if it aint you its a friend you know! Every bikers the same, same story so may be its time to use that energy in building a nice tracker!
I think if you loved your RS back then, am sure this will make you smile again flooding back memories of it, well that is if you had it long enough!
Where abouts are you in the country?

The black headliner was carefully taken out as everycorner was either wrapped into the window edges or doors held on by very small metal clips.
Underneath the headlining are odd bits of foam, which am sure when the new roof goes on, bare and exposed its going to be loud with wind and road noise!!!!

The front of the trunk, all the car pet was removed easily with the clip buttons. As the carpet is'nt going back on, the clips were taken off. Weird thing is that when taking the clips off, each one of them had a scratched arrows. I was wondering if this was a factory thing and if anyone else has got these as shown below?

The car goes on the ramp, finding out that the 964 are a bit of a short wheelbase car, thats not suited to older ramps
Time to check underneath, and to unscrew ALL that holds the undertrays, side sills, front and rear bumpers and arch liners!!!

Work is made harder with rusty bolts and screws!
Anyway, the arch liners came off, to realise the bolts for the front bumper!
Looks like ALL the screws, bolts even all the brackets that hold the bumpers, sills, arches all need replacing. SHOT would be the word!
