My first foray into heavy Porsche DIY was replacing the clutch on my '87 3.2 over 20 yrs. ago. Met a ton of Pelicans who caravanned over with tools and beer to help. Great time. And I did it a lot more with the local DC-area folks thereafter. We did some world class projects in a one car garage with no lift and we did some minor stuff in world class garages with lifts.
