Jeffrey.

That is a great looking ride. I remember your initial posting, and at that price you got a great deal.

Also looking at that punch list again, most of those are DIY jobs. For me repairing several of those items while somewhat challenging gave me quite a bit satisfaction and has connected me to this car like no other.

This forum is awesome, and any time you have any questions or comments there seems to be 10 people here that can say "been there, done that". Enjoy your ride and enjoy the journey.

Marco

Thank you for the compliment Marco. Another factor in my decision was the level of do-it-yourself or pay-through-the-nose factors between the two 3.2 or 964. My mechanic warned that while the 964 was more modern, it is also more complex and more expensive when something breaks.
