PhilH Posted 28November, 2020 Report Share Posted 28November, 2020 48 minutes ago, st3ve said: Whole dash or just the cluster surround? I recently bought a cluster surround on ebay uk for 80 quid. The main dash piece. The instrument cluster and airbag cover are good. Just the top of the dash has some sun damage. I do have a second one I bought, in excellent condition, however the leather grain is very different to the fest of the car so need to source one with very smooth leather with not much "grain". 48 minutes ago, Dalai said: Definitely please let me know first. Currently owning one of your old cars I know how well looked after and well sorted it will be! This one is getting pretty close to where I want it to be! Have taken the taco tail off and put a plain engine cover on however have tucked the taco away for a rainy day! Just the dash to sort out now!

I spoke to a tuner and he told me to buy every single 996 gt3 oil pump you can get your hands on a couple of years ago. He said cheap to store them and just sit on them. He reckons in the us Track rat tracks will pay through the nose for them he has been hoarding them and reckon printed 3d not up to scratch..

Yeah, not good colours in the photos - hard to work out if the interior colour is red (ala Boxster Hero colour) or Terracotta Edit*** doh, should read the words, not just look at the piccies - yes it is red 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting combo. Looks quite dark in the pics. cheers, Dave. Was looking at this last night, and agree it looks dark. Maybe too dark. I can see that most of the photos are at dusk and in shade, but I don't see Lapis. I see a darker blue - maybe Midnight Blue. Strange, as you would expect the owner to know the actual colour of his car, but then again - he referred to it as "Lapris blue metallic".

Not discounting your theory on colour but even the interior colour looks wrong .. taken at sunset so not helping, but filter on the camera perhaps, distorting true colours??

disco Posted 30November, 2020 Report Share Posted 30November, 2020 Just looked at the video. I think it might actually be midnight as per @luzzo. Looking at the door, my Lapis doesn’t throw this shade in the sun. luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one has been on the market a very long time. A PFAer has already looked at it and said it’s a bit rough. Doesn’t sound like it’s had much of its maintenance kept up either.

I had mentioned the Vic one was a bit rough but not the NSW car in this last link, maybe someone else gave you feedback on that Amanda? @Tips, I reckon that cab looks pretty good at that price and not bad k’s.

Thanks Stepo. Agree if it shapes up and available tomorrow I’ll take a look. Been looking for a fun daily car at the right price so I can also hold onto the SC. would be keen though to hear if anyone has looked at it though as it has been around a while. Stacks up on the car facts report so as symsy would say take a wad of cash and kick some tires 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
