Earl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 ^Me too. That's a good price if it is spotless=D lets hopeso there will be two of us=P lol Ask her if she wants to trade side mouldingslol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 There's one small spot of surface rust on the rear quarter panel above the tire. Should be a relatively easy touch up job. Other than that, it looks pretty dang clean for the age/mileage!Door panels are a little loose, seats have a lot of scratches on them, no tears though.

Earl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 ^Those door panels are normal. They have standoffs that snap off and you can't order them. There is a guy possibly making them on 318ti.orgThat bubble on the wheel well is an e36 thing and isn't as bad on Ti's. Just sand it and get some alpine touchup=D Watch right under the hatch too where it meets the body. That is the major trouble spots on Ti's. The seat scratches should be able to be fixed with leatherique. How is the carpet? If you need someone to clean it I know how to get everything out and clean it good since I did that already. Also, if she has any other issues I can help since im the Ti guy=D watch the rear springs and see if a coil is snapped off. That's very common aswell as destroyed rear subframe bushings.

Ryan... Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Forgot to mention that rear spring thing, the guy said his shop told him the springs were bad in the rear, but it drives fine :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 They drive perfectly fine with snapped springs. It just happens. I am changing out my rear springs soon and can always just give them to you when I do;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not worth much more than regular Ti's unless they gave a California roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Didn't mean to.post twice. Carerra GT Isn't that a 911? A carrera gt is the mid engine V10 hypercar.. It'd have a Ti specific m style rear bumper and it'd have sideskirts. They're not worth much more than regular Ti's unless they gave a California roof.

Since mine is a devil and hers would be an angel. lol She'd prob be down for that! The wheels dont really fit the car, too much poke.. So we're thinking of selling those and finding her some cheap stock wheels to slap on. Caymen s That's what I thought, those things are sick looking! Plus, if rumors are to be believed, the Cayman actually handles better than the 911 these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It just needs to be lowered and they'll camber in=) They look halfway decent on Ti's. And I'd love to do a shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
