Part I - Introduction
This thread is my attempt to give back to this forum in some small way. I’ve taken far more than I have given over the past 3+ years, and I’d like to start to turn that around by documenting some of my successes and failures. And while nothing in this thread is will technically ground-breaking, I hope it’s entertaining for you and informative for both of us. Plus, I’m counting on you guys to check my work.
More in that later…
In the past year I’ve undertaken a number of major projects on my 1988 Carrera including a complete suspension refresh, a number of “while you’re in there” projects and the project currently draining my wallet and soaking up time - the total rebuild of my tired 3.2 into a 3.4L twin-plugged hot rod.
It all started in June 2004 when I bought my Carrera. I’m ashamed to admit I never introduced myself to the board at the time. I never even posted any pics of my car. It was poor form, to be sure. I can’t even really say I did it on purpose, because I didn’t even realize the faux pas I had committed until a few weeks after my purchase, and by then it seemed too late. But they say better late than never, so here I am in my best Jack Olson pose:
I won’t post any gratuitous pics of showing the svelte and glowing curves of my 911’s fenders - at least not yet. I think those should come at the triumphant (hopefully) end of this story, and we have a way to go yet.
