A Friend of mine had locked eyes on a non vario '95 993, tip , with mid 60k's mileage , service history but not full , but appears to be in pretty good nick.
Problem is , it's about 150 miles from the nearest specialist, and before he commits to bringing it all that way , it seems sensible to give it the numty once over ..That's where I come in!!

.. I've done some searching on line here and have come up with a list of usual suspects to check .. I'd really appreciate it if any of you 993 expert types could add to the list below. Obvious items like servicing /oil used/alloys/rust on posts I didn't bother including as they're more 'tyre kicking for any car' items
I'm also wondering if there may be problems with the fact that the car is on 18" wheels.
Thanks for the help guys...

LIST AS FOLLOWS:

*Wiring loom.. Changed?
*lower cam covers.. weeping oil?
*Door check straps
*air con
*battery
*shocks/bushes
*pads/disks/tyres
*power steering rack.. leaking?

Thanks for the info all .. Keep it coming please!

Carl , my mate's looking in Ireland at the moment, the import tax on your car is 30% so it'd knock it out of his league.

Sorry for the simplistic question but could the clutch be worn if it's a tippy?
