Well, I'm getting close to finishing my second project car and I'm trying to get it ready for a trip from Tampa, FL to Charlotte, NC for Porsche Parade (arrive June 28th). I've owned this car for over 2 years, but I've never driven it. Currently it's mostly put back together, but I still have a lot to do. I need to install the front and rear calipers, clean the engine and tranny and reinstall. The engine is a stock 2.0l FI. Anyway, I put together a list of the things I need to do and/or parts I need to purchase and the vendor. If anyone has other suggestions, please add your comments...
