I drive her all the time... mainly around town, for now... until I sort her out. I just wanted something to keep me busy as the kids, wife, work, house, don't keep me busy enough! The thing I like about her is that I do stuff as I please and I can still driver her. Took the door panels out, cleaned up the inner door, used the rest of the soundproofing material from the 911 all around, greased up the window regulators, channels, locks, next will use the old carpet as a template to cut new one, was able to get her birth certificate, comes out she was made 5 years to the date before me... As far as the motor goes, after checking the numbers, it turns out there is a 66 230S up front, the stock 220S must have passed away long time ago. Compression is good, Webber makes a really nice dual carb kit, all I need is some different gears in the back (4.01 now to 3.69 from a 280SE), to make her a really 75-80 Mph cruiser with a top speed of about 120 for those who dare... lol
