I wish you luck on the restore, I did a couple and never got out what I put into it. Maybe because they weren't Porsches.
Hey, Steve, the engine has been stalled -- now awaiting mechanic #3 (after #1 and #2 flaked out) to help time the cam, then everything will be done. I appreciate the yoke rental!

I've come out fine on cars that were apart or partial or basket cases. You can do it if you're careful. Remember, most of these cars need to come completely apart sooner or later in the restoration process. And the days of the sub-$3K 911 project car are gone. Now any complete project is $6K, even if it's not running. (I'm talking mainly '72/73 coupes) the upside is a market value in the high teens.
