Phew, cause that makes perfect sense to me, especially since I am about to do the same thing. There was a Sean Connery film made in the sixties I guess called "A Fine Madness" and this topic made me think of it.
Are there any pictures of your car posted here?

Yeah, I know - I'm nucking futs! Well, I'm keeping the SC, into which I knowingly sank multiple times what the car is worth on the market. I did so because I intended (and now still do) to never sell the car (I have no interest in post-Carrera Porsches).
I wanted a really reliable, first Porsche, daily driver with all possible near future issues resolved and so far the car has been trouble free for going on three years of pretty much driving it like I stole it, mostly on city streets which of course is much more taxing than freeway driving.
I can qualify for a doctorate in cross-threading so all my work is done by my mech. Needless to say it would have cost MUCH less had I had the skills to do the work myself.
After buying it I read Stephan Wilkinson's "Gold Plated Porsche" (great read!). Sooo, that's what I now have (though nowhere near as expensive or quick as Steve's).
9.8:1 cr, 223 hp (SSIs w/Dansk 2in/2out), 26mm rear torsion bars, Bilstein Sports, strut brace, WEVO shifter, coupler and mounts, 7s & 8s x 16, no AC, yadayada...
NOT FOR SALE
