Transformation.... finally

My signature the past 7 years has shown my ‘86 undergoing an endless 3.6 transplant. But as I’m sure many know, life can get in the way. Teenage girls with tuitions, business challenges, new marriage, all meant delays. This past winter, with encouragement and help from my wife I dove back into the rebuild. Goal is to be back on the track in July.

Here’s what the car looked like in 2010 at MidOhio (my BIL behind me).

Hopefully this is what it’ll look like when I’m back on track in July.

super cool, don't slow down now!!!

Looks fantastic, I am new to the PCar world but I live close if you ever need a hand with something

Looks like it will be stunning! Martini colors are the best! I have them on my Atom.

If there is ever a Porsche meet in the Chicago area, I would love to travel down from Minneapolis to join and get some more motivation for my project.

Good luck and keep going! Looks great so far.

Definitely looking forward to your progress.
Are you going to still allow for street use to take to local cars n coffee and such?

Nice job Ed! Keep up the good work!!!
