Also, kind of an obvious observation, but I get why a lot of Porsche guys swear by stock/near stock. My '89 by in large was very reliable and I never had an issue with parts. My '71 has been too, but I've had to hunt-and-peck for parts and whatnot because it's a mash-up of a '71 with a '77 motor and other aftermarket parts so sometimes getting stuff to work together requires some head-scratching and irritation. I say this as a ham-fisted mechanic whose greatest asset is Google whenever I get stumped. The shops I've employed for items above my pay grade have had little issue fixing things, but I really try to repair as many "little things" as possible at home.
