(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche001sm.jpg)Inspired by all of you, and especially the "turtle girl build," I rented a shop and I'm starting my resto! I have a 1972 1.7L. I bought it about 5 years ago, also bought a '71 parts car. Drove the '72 home, barely.
Pulled the parts car home with a trailer. Parted out all the good parts on the '71. Dropped the engine and tranny, then lost my garage, along with my house, children, furniture, and half my money to my ex-wife. I moved the car and parts, but they have sat undisturbed ever since. I found this club and it has really rekindled my interest in my car. So I rented a shop, moved the car and parts, and now I'm ready to get started! The "turtle-girl build" thread really got me going. Thanks alot! I am going to try and document my build along the way also. I hope you will all follow along as I will be needing plenty of advice.
