these cars are really for DIY guys now - they have gone the way of the 914 in that respect - lol - good thing i like doing it myself
I dunno. I don't know where you live, but here in New England, there are TONS of small shops that specialize in European sports cars or even Porsches in general. Heck, I know of 5 or 6 Porsche specialty shops in CT alone, and a few of those are Porsche-only.
