Well, you saw my debacle about the clutch. I took your lead and spoke to Tony Callas about it. I think if it needs major work, I'll let him tackle something like a clutch. But, the Boxster will make a fine hobby. You and I share the same opinion about these cars. They are great cars. But, I have to limit my work on cars to what I can do at home w/o a lift, etc.
I just like the idea of making things. Welding is a form of fabrication, a very important one. I've been to L.A. Trade Tech on plastics and molding years ago. I briefly worked in a pattern shop. And I've obviously built my share of all things residential and light commercial. It's all fun to create stuff whether it's a cabinet or some tile work. I'm hooked on being creative.
There's no perceivable market for a 63 YO creative person.
BTW, welding is easy once you have the right equipment and a fundamental understanding of the process. In fact, I'm going back to welding school this fall to do some arc welding. I've done the MIG and the TIG, but I've not fully understood all the tricks to stick welding (and I never will be as good as a lifer). I like the idea of sticking things together; it's fun.
