C4S, yea, at $30K I would be stuck as that's not enough to get into an Elise, at that point I'll just fly Shaun out and we can put a 3.2L in it. LOL.
I mean, as I said to my wife, my worse case scenario is that I have a very cool old Porsche... that's not so bad is it.
I'll have to really do some math on a 3.2 swap and see what I can make of it. If I fix my head studs and get the car dialed in I am sure it has a lot of life in it. So maybe it buys me some time to find a 3.2L A 3.2L with headers and a chip, in a sub 2300# car should be pretty fun.
I really do want to learn with car, take it apart and put it back together. I just lack the confidence to dig into it, and my local resources think of Porsche ownership as Jackie pants and dinners out.
I hope the engine build class can happen sooner than later, I was really hoping to go to that.
If the economy gets better, maybe I can freelance some work... that could be a quick $10-30K or 15.00 after taxes.
