Another intro
I've been reading this board for some time. Thought I'd introduce myself and my car. This is my first Porsche although I have wanted one for a long, long time. I thought I couldn't afford one, but my friend told me otherwise and the hunt was on for my car.
My friend found this 73' Coupe for me in June of 06'. She used to look like this:  This picture was taken in Eastern Washington at a hill climb near Goldendale. It would appear we were there to go off road given the factory ride height. So then with the ride height lowered:  Next with Fuchs:  I need to take a shot of her since I've had the original factory seats replaced. I bought a nice set of vintage Recaros. Anyway, that's my car. I hope you enjoy the pictures! All the best! Sharon

Thanks for the welcome and the nice feedback on the car. I have a lot of fun driving her. She is a Tacoma car. I am her third owner. Her first was a woman as well. Perfect coupe for a beginner like me.
A shot of the interior as it is right now:  I just had the seats installed in early July. The steering wheel is not original either. It's dated 68' - thinner with a new leather cover. My hands are small so this is a nicer grip for me. Here's what I could get of the engine. I'm shooting with my digital camcorder so the picture quality is not great:   All the best! Sharon
