I'll post more of the plan later, but I need to pull the V8 from the 2000 S (where it was never fully swapped) and mate it with the Tiptronic. I have a 'ready to weld' Rollcage from that car in Houston. I'm going to keep the rolling chassis of the Houston car as a backup in case the Tiptronic doesn't work out.

I'm NOT buying any more project cars for a while. Boxsters, 914s, The Dung Beetle, and the '81 Scirocco (currently in long term storage mode), should be enough to keep me busy for the next five years.

I think I want a tube bender, considering an "Affordable Bender": https://www.affordablebender.com/collections/affordable-benders-tube-notchers/products/affordable-bender-134-die-on-7-radius ...just to play with. Anyone have one?
