Default New 993

Nice find. Appears to already have been lowered and/or superior shocks installed. Will save you a little. Now, time for some halogen headlight replacement bulbs. Welcome!

It seemed at the time that the spirit of the comment was in the spirit of, it's barely even a leak right now so don't bother until it makes more sense to do.

I, being a new Pcar owner could not even pretend to justify what someone else knows or does not know about wrenching on these cars. All I can say is it was obvious to me that the tech new his way around the underside of that car.

Congratulations! This is a lovely looking car. Best wishes for many years of happy, trouble free and safe motoring. - Glenn

P.S. There is however some dust that you should be concerned about..... Did you notice those dust particles in the trunk? Didn't the mechanic use a vacuum cleaner as part of the PPI? HMMMM LOL - Enjoy with no worries.

???????????????????????????????????????????
huh?

It just looks like dust on the outside of the glass to me.

Thanks for the PDF. I do admit I have been listening to the sounds from the rear allot. I drove it to and from work today and didn't turn the radio on at all. (40 minutes each way).

I know... I Know... I almost had to pass on the car... there is a noticeable amount of dust on the top of the dash too. The car has only been driven 3,000 miles since 2005, and it was actually NOT detailed when I picked it up. They offered to detail it for me but I wanted to take her home.

Congratulations - looks fantastic. I'm two weeks into 993 ownership and it's been a ton of fun. Who would have thought that spending 5 hours detailing your car could be so enjoyable!
