jkrubinlaw,

My situation is very similar to yours, but I have learned quite a bit from the helpful people right here and that knowledge, combined with a few good books and some "hands-on" experience was the best teacher I have ever had. Mechanical things can be frustrating, but you have a good car to work on and the satisfaction that you have "fixed it yourself" will really pay off. Try to find a good local Porsche shop, if you can. I have found one here near me (Motor City---Detroit), so I'm sure you can find one in sunny Florida. If you get in over your head on a project don't be afraid to ask for help, either here or at the local Porsche shop. There are many informational resources on the "Web" and you can learn just about everything you could ever want to know about your car. Don't be afraid to ask questions as the people here are patient and knowledgeable!!! Buy some good tools and have patience!!!!
