smule Posted 23May, 2013 Report Share Posted 23May, 2013 Great read indeed.... and for those that questioned a few weeks ago which import is best a worthwhile reminder .. "Time to take the impact-bumper plunge, then? A final note of caution comes from expert 911 bodywork restorer, and former Autofarm bodyshop manager, Robin Dalwood: ‘Don’t think that just because later cars are galvanised they won’t be rusty. The galvanising doesn’t last for ever and these models are getting old. If an impact-bumper 911 hasn’t already had new sills and kidney bowls, and maybe wings and B-pillars, it will almost certainly need them.’" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 23May, 2013 Report Share Posted 23May, 2013 Great article. I have always liked the look of IB cars, so had no idea they were worth less (apart from anything other than being younger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
