Ah, but then it could feature in classics left to rot

Of course by avoiding the salt and st, you're saving yourself some rot & grief when the thing disintegrates

Ah but I'm not looking for anything of mine to feature in anything. I just enjoy them

I’ve fitted grp wheelarch liners to mine (from Revington TR). These fit incredibly well and keep all the wet stuff away from those nooks and crannies in the wings. Squirted a ton of Dinitrol up there first to be on the safe side.

Great idea. I’ll get some.

Looks a shed but CA rock hard. Much much engine work inc ITB’s

I probably do about 5000 miles a year, in all weathers. Maintenance is the usual stuff, belts every four years or so, oil and filter changes once a year, other than that it gets MoT’d and I get everything done on it that it needs. I did the sills myself two years ago - bit of a lash up job really - but I do aim to maybe take it off the road in 2/3 years to do them properly. You sit down in the weeds, it has no air con, it mists up like mad, has no sat nav or leccy gizmos save the sunroof and windows, in fact not much at all in the way of mod cons but it’s great to drive, costs hardly anything to run and I can’t see me getting rid if it!

I drove a 944S2 as a hobby car for 12 years from 1998 to 2010, averaging about 6,500 miles a year over that period and can confirm they're absolutely capable of daily duties. Mine was reasonably dry inside but they can leak, not least through the big glass hatch and the rear lights. As you've seen they can also rust despite the galvanised shell but suffer less than most of their contemporaries.
