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

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

The dirt and crack add beauty to your car, IMHO

You could get a replica of the optima pro body. That one has a full bellypan.
