Yep the under guard is standard on the turbo. The motor guard isn't though.

Gee wonder where the Le Mans motor ended up.

Very nice score.

I bought it from William (member here)
Happy to have it, as from the box direct to the shelf, no need to clean, no need to change or add parts :D

Kind of a disappointment, then, isn't it? :P

Looks great, it's not often you see a bumper & belly plate that aren't all scuffed up. :)

Could have used the bottom plate this past summer. Busted up two belt guides at the track. That's a pretty one. A buddy of mine had a Turbo back in the day. I don't remember, though, were the stabilizers standard on the Turbo???

Painting is not my cup of tea, trying to figure it out to paint or no paint :oops:

The dirt and crack add beauty to your car, IMHO
