Agreed and that's the plan. I am presently evaluating a 986 owned by my Indie shop (have another P-Car as well) that just had the clutch, flywheel and an LN Engineering bearing installed. They are currently in the process of going through the entire car for me right now so I will know where it stands mechanically prior to making an offer to purchase.
