Ok well it might not look like much from the photos but the below 997 has been refreshed to near new, purchased about a month ago, with low mileage but in need of a cosmetic refurb and a lengthy service list.

Since the car was hardly driven I took no chances and had a $5k service done inc every fluid and filter you can think of including tiptronic transmission service, final drive oil, belts, plugs, handbrake rebuild inc cables and all tensions & compression springs, etc etc. 4 wheel balance and several switches and trims such as the plastic guard under the front wheels which had been ripped off obviously through neglect when negotiating driveways & speedbumps.

Once back from the service I then had a few leather repairs done such as repair of a large scratch on the back of the drivers seat which looked to be from a coathanger. Some leather dye and cleaning and the seats were back to near new.

New licence plates, rear badge, extensive paint detail inc touch ups, all 4 rims properly repaired as in tyres removed curb damage filled, machined, sanded, 2 pac painted & baked. Then a 4 wheel alignment.

Soft top revived with Renovo dark blue dye. New floormats, new air conditioning unit as the buttons were quite worn ($1,400 alone), new PCM *****, new coloured crest wheel centre caps, 15/7 spacers, Eurocharged tune & it's finally done. The money & time spent was justified given it's a rare example with very low mileage and I intend to keep it that way for some time.

 

Looks splendid. Steering wheel needs to be moved

Time to drive!!!

 

It looks great but.........like already mentioned........ they put the steering wheel on in the wrong place.

 

Looks great, hopefully you are happy with her!@

 

looks great!

 

Great work! Car looks fantastic.

 

wow, that should give you many trouble free miles to enjoy. Looks great too.

 

Cheers guys, yes only an oil change or two for the next 10,000 kms then pads are due..which could be 2 years away at the rate I drive it.

Now I have jack stands I will also get the tyres replaced when the time comes without having to leave the car in at a tyre shop. Do my own oil changes too now.

The brake fluid I guess will have to be done with the pads, it was just done at the service along with coolant etc. Assuming air & pollen filters will need to be done along with spark plugs also when the pads and brake fluid gets done. But at least it's 10k/2 years away.
