Big day today - started her up, took her down to the gas station and filled her up, put air in the tires, and drove her around the entire neighborhood twice (its a big main loop). Temp came up, no stalling, shifts well, clutch works, brakes work. Amazing how fast that little engine seems thanks to the torque. It is still rattly as hell, and the driving position is strange, more like sitting on it.
Found a bunch of new little issues: wipers stopped working, fuel level sender must be bad b/c it worked on jack stands but not on the road, and there is an exhaust leak which is pretty loud at the first joint under the tranny tunnel.
Funny, all ratty and dented and crappy paint and gets more smiles by far than the 911. Guess I'm not getting lumped in with the 991 crowd
