No, you 'll need to buy it. You should save the cost in the first few jobs you do on your own though. Worth the money.

Welcome to IB. The Bentley manual is generally regarded as the best. You can find it on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Porsche-Service-Manual-1978-1979/dp/0837617057 If you sign up for a supporting membership, you could place a wanted ad but they tend not to come up for sale that often. eBay may have a few.

🤣 genius!

Welcome back - mine has also been parked up for a while. Life just takes over!

The seller is a Gruppe IB member and said he was about to list them himself. The facebook seats were listed as deal pending, so basically sold.

Welcome - took me a while to find it also! Changed the title - here you go

I would potentially put the leads as culprit number one! So many issues with leads over the years. Check the resistance in all of them.

Lovely work. If you eventually fit more aggressive pads you will lock the fronts easily using Boxster calipers. My barn ornament runs with DS3000 pads and the front locks no problem.

Amazing. Do not insure it for the basic purchase price! Your insurer will likely suggest a higher price so take it.

Congrats! It looked like a good one and a great find. Looking forward to your journey with it.

This looks OK to me - have seen worse. The jacking point repair will be a pain as some have said. The rear panel looks OK. Panel gaps are not always perfect and this is not a concours car so yo have to forgive some stuff. The rust is likely gonna be in there in the usual places. The rear window will be both sides when you take the glass out to repair. But black is an easy colour to match. Even if you spend £20k you still have equity - it depends what you have to spend on it.

Yes have sent Jevvy's email over as he is nearer and amazing of course 😊

So it seems their founder passed away earlier this year. RIP Robin. I have never heard of them - Type911 is the go-to.

The grease gun should work. Hydraulic pressure is a wonderful thing. If it is half out or even slightly cock-eyed then I recommend getting it all the way back in. Use some big grips or whatever you've got. Do you not have MAPP gas or a heat gun? Or an oven! Heat works. It will be sticking on the piston seal so getting that hot and drowning it in some sort of lube/rubber grease should help. Basically get as medieval as you can here...

You should be able to clamp the hoses on the car and use the car's system. I've had to do this on the CRV god knows how many times as rear calipers seize on the regular - just did it last weekend. Nothing will get them to move on the bench but on the car - different story. The grease gun is also a good one. Anything hydraulic for sure. Petrol or brake cleaner will clean out the grease easily enough.
