Hey team, 

 

got myself a 1980 998 ,  exterior done,  interior pretty good nick and motor standard but some parts here and there replaced when needed.

 

Im praying I havent bit of more then I can chew here,  ive always liked these things... and i think they might be more reliable then they are >? 

 

I hear parts and fixes are cheap,  but its all about rust and body work to ensure you stay on top of that?? 

 

I have a mini guy down the road who will help me with most things needed which I assume is a good start ! and a haynes manual hahahaha (ebay)

 

thanks for the join !

You wont stop it but you can stay on top of it. Waxoyl or similiar or just park it in a vat of cooking oil.
