First real repair was dropping the engine in a '67 911 after we blew a hole in a piston while driving up North. It was my first P-car - boy, did I pick a dog to start with. Took a buddy and me just about 12 hours to get the engine out, which actually wasn't too bad considering I'd never even changed the oil before, and we were operating with just the Haynes manual. It sure would have helped to have had Pelican and this board back then! Then some 200 hours (over about 8 months) later of pulling out the interior, cleaning, overhauling the Webers, sandblasting, wire wheeling, painting, hauling the engine to the shop to fix what I couldn't, then fixing the stuff we did wrong the first time, and adding a Borla exhaust to replace the swiss cheese exchangers and muffler, the engine and tranny went back in. I ended up going through the whole d*mn car and it was still a marginal driver at the end, but at least we'd made enough progress to find someone to buy it
Since then it's been pretty much oil changes, routine maintenance and ticky-tack stuff. I've really got no desire to have a tranny and assorted parts parked in my living room for 8 months any longer, so the SC better keep running for another 100k miles!
