Thanks, Mike. I think I've been on the track throughout but had to ride in someone else's "engine".

Will certainly keep the updates coming.

Funny,..a good friend of mine (and fellow recording engineer) was shaking his head today as he tallied up the monies required to see this project to it's end. He's a fellow Porsche owner (albeit only a few years in to the discovery),..very smart gent who is just as out-spoken as I am at times,..although he carries a much lower odometer reading on his life's odometer clock than myself. He declares that I'll have more money into this car than it's worth,..so why do it when the same monies could get you something newer. Well,..that told me all I needed to know about his shortcomings in several areas. He's not driven the older torsion bar cars and hasn't experienced the sweet driving feedback these pups bring to the driving experience. I always tell him that it's not how fast you go, but (moreso) "how you go fast". Aside from the obvious arguments, I told him that I was getting this car back to it's original glory as I plan to pass this car down to my Grandson, Aiden. Such a plan carries no price barriers and is something I consider "priceless" as to "value". Bottom line (I mentioned) is that I'll spend my huge piles of cash any damned way I see fit and grin like hellll all the way! If I can ever get him on the track, he will truly experience these cars (his included) SO much more. Since Aiden is only 3 years of age, I'll have plenty of time to park this 25th Anniversary RESTO right along side the 50th Anniversary. I'd call that a "special" moment......indeed. Then I suggested he go buy a beemer, as that would suite him a bit better.......

Looking forward to getting her back on the road. I just can't believe it's taken this long.

Had I known,...........blah-blah-blah........

Stay tuned!

BEST!
