History
3rd owner. Previous owner of 14 years garaged it every winter. Fully documented service history. 1st owner did drive it in snow but kept it very clean. Have yet to get under it (as of 7/8/21) but the only surface rust I've seen is on the edge of the trunk lip.
No mods on it. Not going fast and furious on it, just keeping it solid for spring & summer romping.
All options in working order except:
Passenger seat electrical
Gas gauge (using DTE as a guide lol)
Turbo gauge
Rear windows need coaxing but eventually go back up.
Passed inspection last week. Hooray.
BUT
Issues as of July 2021:
Needs complete exterior detail/paint treatment.
(Scheduled 7/14)
Needs complete interior detail including leather treatment.
(Currently looking at DIY options)
Hummmmm from left rear; pitch coincides with speed.
Whistling/squeeeeeeeak from cowl/cluster over 65mph. - update - it's the windshield.
Update- 8/16/21‐
Starter quit about 4 days ago. Farted around with battery terminals and fuses and relays. Didn't solve it. Replaced the starter from my '95 900SE 2.0T vert parts car. Problem solved.
