My dad is getting his new car today.. Its a 74 2.0 pretty rust free car.. He has had about 10 Porsches over the year s and currently has an 02 boxster s with about 40k on it but needed a retirement project.. Dad is approaching 70 so this a longer term project but it should be fun.. The price was right as he got it for free although I have to provide labor on a 2.2 E rebuild.. I still think it was a good buy

So dad's 70th is this week and he slowly has worked on the car, changed out relay board(thanks Mark), replaced ignition switch, got the engine to break free after sitting for years, now the engine turns over by the key switch but probably needs a starter, fuel pump works, he has figured most of the wiring out .. I found a muffler here from a very giving member here.. Thanks Kevin.
He is looking at buying a new known starter but again he moves slow on these things. I would guess he is a couple hours away from it starting. Still needs a ton of parts.. I gave him my backpad and some extra seals etc but he still needs a bunch of parts .. Seats are a priority.. |
