Yea, it is do able and in fact IMHO you are usually better off doing it yourself as I have seen too much ka ka doo doo work from shops in my time. The time consuming detail work, meticulous cleaning, and obsessive attention to detail takes too much time for a shop that can slam 3 toyotas, 2 hondas, and a buick in the time it takes for 1 TB WP job.

Yea, the 944 and its ilk can be dangerous for teens as it actually handles at speed. those drivers without internal regulation tend to get into a bit of trouble. It takes YEARS of experience to get good at driving.

OK, If you have a place to work on it, Some good tools, and a willingness to lavish inordinate amounts of time on the task(s) that will present themselves (there WILL be more) than go for it. However...in current state estimate that it needs 2K worth of work minimal (safe bet) and set purchase price accordingly.

Porschekid: No biggie, Glad to see that you are getting the word out there. Anyone who actually owns a Porsche and has fixed it up has the right to say it.

Rasta: gonna have to disagree with you on this one...The system is "beautifully complex" You only truly understand it when you take it apart and put it together several times. At first glance the normal reaction is..."what the Firetruck did they do it THAT way for?"

Notes: Replace hardware, use LOTS of pen fluid. Wake and shock bolts a LOT. CAREFUL! Read my posts, Other posts, Clarks, etc... ASK questions when unclear. As you really shouldn't run the car the way it is...treat the engine like unexploded ordinance.

Get off the fence...Be a MAN...Fix a Porsche. ( Hey, that could be a new saying)
