Don't make me sound like a bad man. :( It won't be ripped apart. It will be lovingly dismantled and lots of parts will go to keep lots of other nicer (and less rusty) 912s on the road. Go on Helen, buy it. Larry will LOVE polishing this one! 8)

It is sad Helen. I had a tear in my eye yesterday when I finally had the courage to look at the car again. I started investigating the rest of the shell and managed to uncover even more holes - this time in visible bits of the body (door shuts and by the rear quarter lights). The rear screen demister vents fell off in my hand and brought most of the parcel shelf with them too. Rust is pure evil.
