Any Porsche mechanics near Lubbock, TX?
 
I've got a 944S sitting in the back of a warehouse, thought maybe I'd let it go.
Come to find out, my daughter would like to have it. She will be in Texas for a few years, and I'm a bit concerned that there's nobody around who is familiar with 944s.

I won't start the car until it gets a fresh timing belt, as this one has been in the same position for a few years now.

Anybody know if someone near Lubbock willing to wrench on a 944 if needed?
While my daughter knows the very basics, she doesn't have the tools or time to play mechanic.

Useless tidbit: To prevent internals from rusting, I filled the case with oil. A 944 engine will hold about 15 quarts.

I would have used a cylinder fogger. 2.7 16V? Those are a little bit tricky compared to the 8V. I would find someone very familiar with that engine... In lubbuck I think it would be easier to find a diesel/HE mechanic.

Precisely why I'm discouraging her.
Surprised me when she asked how much I was going to sell it for.
Of course, if she really wants it, she can just have it (she doesn't know that).
