Most UK 911s of this era have had at least one restoration already, and it’s unlikely to have been no expense spared. Look also for corrosion around these main rot areas, where past repairs are beginning to fail at welded joins. Check the front wings around the lights (new wings are £1000 each) the bottoms of the doors A-posts B-posts the front boot floor, especially below the battery floorpans front and rear rear seat pans and the torsion tube where it goes through the chassis legs.
On sunroof cars, the drains block and rot the screen pillars (front and rear), and on all cars rust can take hold below the windows. Bodging is common here, and proper rectification costly. Start by checking the sills, then the ‘kidney bowl’ panels that run up from the back of the sills inside the rear wheelarches, just behind the B-post.
