After Shaun left tonight I continued working on the car. With a little work, I got the engine running. Very rough idle for 30 seconds then back to running like a sewing machine as if the last 7 years were 7 hours.

The amazing thing is, it didn't smoke. At all. Id10t, when was the last time the engine was started? For a 7 year slumber I would have expected massive amounts of oil smoke. Nope.

This is a special 911 - I'm honored just to have it on my lift and be able to work on it. Easily the nicest 80s Porsche I have turned a wrench on (ok except for that 959 one time...) Lots more info, but this is Shaun's story. I'll let him tell it.
