After a month of fiddling around, I finally have the "new" front end on the car. I replaced/repainted everything. New valance and bumper. New spoiler, impact strip, bellows, smile, fog glass, and side impact strips. Ran into issues on with getting stuff back from paint and then I scratched the heck out of the valance and had to repaint.
Some PO did a number on the old front end. The valance had a gash from the bumper being pushed down and into it. The chin spoiler was toast too. Looked like parking over concrete stops was the norm. Been waiting to do this since I bought the car in Sept. 14. Glad to have it done. Totally changes the looks of old girl.

My dad's 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera. One owner, never been wrecked, 237k miles. He sure did love this car.

Test drive session on twisty countryside roads west from Helsinki after installing a set of new Bilstein Turbo-series shock absorbers to my 911 SC (rightmost car in the picture).
The car felt so good. It takes bumps and cracks very nicely and resists quick weight transfers so much better. Also oscillating behavior in the front end after quick turns is gone. The old Boge shocks were completely finished, I didn't actually realize how bad they were. Very good upgrade and certainly worth of the money spent.
