One more comment. Even if you are not currently mechanically inclined, I would recommend finding a friend who can help you and get the 101 projects book. In addition, whenever I'm tackling a project that I've never done, I have found that there is always a YouTube video with someone showing you how.

I recommend that when doing things like brakes and suspension, I recommend doing one side at a time. This way you can refer to the complete side for a visual. Too many times I have pulled both struts off the car only to find that I can't remember the order of the washers or something simple - and Murphy's Law will never have a picture in he instructions when you need it.

Lastly, with an older 911, there are less and less experienced mechanics that are familiar with our cars. This is a car that will run well for a long time but may need ocasional tinkering - I think you will get the best quality mechanic in yourself. Then, when a big project does come along, you can at least discuss with a pro and understand the topic.
