I've got a Lotus Elise for sale. I can't think of another car that will engage you like a 911. May be a little more than you want to spend, but an awesome car.

Fun project! At $3500, I think you did very well. Unless there is some serious unknown badness, the engine case alone will be worth that pretty soon!

Keep us posted on the project.

Finally placed Karsten’s spring today and replaced all the bushings.

I almost cried! This is best the shifter has worked in the 14 years I’ve owned the car. Tremendous mod! Thanks Karsten!

They don't come out. Its a cam locking system. Handle up is locked. Handle down is disengaged. With both handles down, the top should lift off. The pins go in the holes in the back targa bar.

Yeah, I thought this was a joke when I read the thread title, "Dealer can't figure out the weird oil smell coming from my 911." To us air cooled guys, that's what they're supposed to smell like.
