My First Porsche

ya, early cars are fun.... NOT ...

Well, some things about the early cars are WAY better than the late cars! Much less complicated to work on and pop a T-belt and you don't even think twice about it! Do that on a 32V car and it is a REALLY BAD DAY!

Awesome James...will check out the link. I do want to do that upgrade. I also agree that so far, I am certainly enjoying the more simple nature of the early cars. I have it running very respectable for a stock engine, and seems to have many fewer Gremlins that the 32V, although I pay a price in HP, so far, I cannot complain. It is still an awesome beast. I would not hesitate suggesting someone get a early car to start with. The problem is that there are likely less of them in decent condition due to the smaller numbers built and general age. But if you find one, like I did, with good suspension, a good respray done and a well running engine,,,,you got a lot of the basics covered to start restoring!

Couldn't agree more, Michael. I love the US '83-'84 models for all of the same reasons and agree that they may make the best 928 starting point. I also agree that they are hard to find in good cosmetic shape. Inside and out, they are normally pretty rough.

Picked up this flag on ebay for 20 bux. It's beautiful in person It spans all the way across my queen size bed.
