It's in my workshop at the moment - wheels off, trim off and I'm going through the usual rust prone areas making checks.

Today Ive stuck a borascope down the inner sills and I'm pleased to say that aside from some light surface corrosion they are rock solid. Ive treated them and I'm about to inject Dynax ultra to keep them safe.

I'll take a pic or two later and post them up.

Sounds like you're enjoying yourself! As I've said before on here, the 924-44-68's are lovely cars to fiddle with. Time consuming yes, but the build quality is such that most jobs are enjoyable. With exception to removing a turbo and crossover pipe on a 951 of course mad

It looks to me like you're going to have an enjoyable summer driving

Sure plenty have corrosion but not all.



both of the inner sills look like this on my 91 turbo, which seems to contradict the opinion that earlier cars resist rust better.

Anything under the bonnet is a fking nightmare on a Turbo.
