No, a marital compromise. Donna chooses the cover and makes the bed. Same deal with cooking, cleaning, pets etc.

Big expectations for a 993 Tipo import ($73K).

kiwi 911

It was $78K a few days ago??

John McM

Makes this look like a bargain http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=940100367 a few more scare questions and this could be mine

Macca

You'll have to outbid me first John ;-)

peterC2S

Never thought I'd see the day Macca was trying to outbid on a red 964. For a friend? Yeah right!!

Macca

I know. A slower version of the 993 in my favourite colour too. The irony!! Ha ha

Spokes

Agree, wouldn't swap mine!

Unlucky for you it appears that I will have parking space in my garage as of Friday.

Lucky for you it will then be filled with Herman's panels as I prepare for a respray. And no, not a $20,000 multi month effort, this is a refresh one where the car will be used as a daily driver and track hack.

Go cars not show cars!

Really? Paint?? I thought you were convinced you wouldn't? Consider a paint correction first. You'd be surprised at what can be done. The down side to to that is if its in poor condition to start you will start to notice the parts of the car that could not be corrected

This is the part were we all start throwing ropes to John, which are quietly ignored in favour of the pot of air cooled white gold waiting for him at the bottom of this slippery slope.

I took another look at that transmission I removed. You can see in the webbing it has split. It goes to show what an experienced eye can pick up as i didn't see it on first look. I suspect it's a common failure point of the part. I will still take it into CCS to get schooled

See the manual 993 cab has been withdrawn so probably sold.

Macca

Steve yours is the finest example tipi I know of in NZ!!

Macca

Yes Warwick, and remember too it's how the plastics and rubbers behave after 20 years of heat, water and elements that's important. Because it looks like it has integrity doesn't mean if does when it comes to rubber bushes as most restorers will tell you they all need replacing with age.
