Anyone want to guess what this little gem will wind up making?

Interesting use of the word "gem".

Why do so many people advertise their cars so badly - lazy narrative, poor preparation, and terrible pictures rolleyes

Ok, this is the bottom end of the 993 market, and Cat C is going to turn most people off immediately - not to mention the body kit frown but it could form cheap access to 993 motoring at the right price, depending on how many nasties it's hiding.

Impossible to value without inspecting closely. There are many questions.

Anyone who buys that blind needs to factor in a lot of stuff!

I've never seen such a badly fitting bonnet.

Just looked a little closer. Look at where the drivers door, wing and scuttle meet. Huge gap! Miles off.

Obviously a front end shunt. Needs looking at very closely!

Yes - new front wings, bonnet, WB front PU (whilst you are there), new lights... but panel gaps wrong everywhere - maybe the doors are original, so clearly fitted by someone with a poor attention to... erm... well anything really.

Rear engine lid doesn't fit, and is probably a cheap copy of a turbo wing.

But the rear light-bar doesn't sit right, so maybe impact front and rear, though the rear PU does seem to line-up with the rear wings.

Shame as it has the better early sports seats, A/C and hifi options (and original Cup '93s).

Why take a photo with the front drivers footwell showing a pool of water on the carpet which is over the accelerator pedal?

I'm sure it'll be bid up to 35k at least.....

If that goes for 35k, then mines going up for 60k!

...and the rear light-bar is very faded - probably just a big frontal.

I said 'bid-up to 35k'. I imagine that even Stevie Wonder would refuse to hand over the cash when he went to collect it.

Hmmmmmm. Always the optimist me biggrin

Rear lid is badly aligned, however (and I'm only trying to be positive) on my tidily phone screen it looks like it could be that the raised bonnet shut lines could be down to the hinges require being tightened up. Common fault on (well not that commonly known on the net) earlier 993s, and a good bolting tight might make those panel gaps look a whole lot better.

I've seen really nice 993s dismissed because potential punters have thought a raised bonnet edge was a sign of a poor repair when in fact 10 minutes with a spanner could have cured all ills. smile

10 minutes with a spanner?

Is this slang for how long the owner will spend taking the money of the buyer?

My mistake, it's this damn predictive text.

Sorry typo. It was supposed to read '10 minutes with a slapper' smile

Probably could come close...if Stevie Wonder is bidding!

The madness of the modern classic world. If it was an SC, 3.2 or even maybe a 964 it would have started at 30K and it would have been seen as 'cheap'.
