Looks very nice. Looks like its been very well looked after.

Its exactly the same as my daily except 2-tone and probably hasn't done 320 000kms (and doesn't have the wear to go with it)

If its anything like mine, the red looks REALLY nice after a wash and polish, but faded really badly after about 2-4 weeks and looks horrid and dull.

Just discovered cancer in my poor 929. Its on either side of that tube brace (duno the name for it haha). Most likely going to have to cut it out as its eaten nearly the whole way through on the right.

On a happier note i ordered a set of fender mirrors and i get my license back in 8 days  =D

Very common place to find rust on a HB.

The only pain with the rust there is that the brace looks like it unbolts but those end plates are spot welded in and can be a real pain to get out.

Just love your car man, looks so good with the red and grey! The coil-overs did a good job aswell if you ask me. Looks like a perfect height if you roll' in norway ;)
