ditto on colo964. done all my own maintenance and engine rebuilds on all cars I have owned. 69 912, 73 vega, 69 2002, 60 mga, a chevy 350, volvo 740. I like the 964. Get the factory manuals. Sounds like you probably have all the tools you need.

Some addons are really easy: rear fog lights and daytime running lights. I have bought all I need to add headlight washers and will do that later this year. Valve adjustment took me most of a day, but it will last 50k miles.

brakes are a snap, even changing struts and axle shaft boots are not a big deal with right tools.

Just changed my turn signal, washer, OBC and cruise apparatus around the sterring column in about 2 hours.
I have 160 k miles on mine.

I would go for a 92 and above as a first cut.
