Looking for help doing my 1st timing belt/pump/foes/hoses on my 88 944T

[fiily]

Wondering if anyone around NH willing to help this noob out in doing all the belts/wp/foes/races/rad hoses. Shops are getting 7.5 hrs to do the job, times that by $90/hr = too expensive.

Really itching to get the car set before the real nice weather settles in, and I have all the willingness to learn, just cautious to do it all myself the 1st time without blowing the car to bits.

I have read up on Clark's, youtube, here, but there is nothing like the real thing in person. Don't be too harsh, everyone has to learn sometime in their life. I am cheap, but I also want to learn to fix this car with my own two hands and be proud of the work I did.

Thanks for taking your time reading my plea for help.

Doing the belts/WP really isn't that much harder than doing an oil change...

The only special tools you really need are the narrow wrench for the eccentric rollers, the spanner for the balance shaft gears/late TB tensioner, and maybe a flywheel lock...

Set the timing belt tension to where you can just turn the belt 90* between thumb and forefinger on the longest span (before the idler is installed), and the balance belt to 180*...set the balance idler 1 credit-card width from the balance belt...
