I have been gone for a few years. Transferred back and forth, ATL-OKC-ATL.
4 years in OKC, then a year on the road and then a year off working on fixing up the old homestead ,selling and then buying all over again.

Covid shut us in and somewhere along the line I gathered up my car, put back in my garage and stared at it for awhile.

Then brillance struck!!!! ?????? %^^&&$%^$^%^&%

Pull out the Suby turbo and start over!! Of course... Brillant.

Exorcised the ghosts, fresh plan, new parts, Blank slate.

Found a 4.8l truck motor cheap and rebuilt and customized for 914.

Found a boxster 6 speed and adapter set up here. ValcoOscar, Thank you.

BigKat filled in the blanks with 930 axles..

We have the tech, we can reebuild!!!!

The patina is awesome. Take care of your fingers. They cannot be replaced. How many were damaged?
