well, the V8 arrived today...its looking pretty awesome. Took it for a short cruise around the neighborhood (no plates/inspection) and I was impressed with the little 215 V8. Great mid range torque and sounds good at 4000 rpm. As soon as I register it, I have some little things to fix and improve upon. Other than that, its a great pruchase. smilie_pokal.gif

the Iceing on the cake was what was in the car.....a full set of factory repair manuals!!. Also several porsche books and a letter of mods by the PO.

The bad part.. the black 73 is out of the garage with a tarp over it. First time exposed to the elements!!! confused24.gif

I am stoked!!!!!! piratenanner.gif
