I am in Boca, would like to meet up...are there any 986 meets around here?

My general advice is, if a 986 costs less than $10k you are going to spend double what you paid repairing it. That said, I hope you don't encounter too many issues. No SE should be neglected like that, and it's great you plan to restore it.

To source parts, you will want to download the 986_Kataloge.pdf available from Porsche's website.

Thanks for the pdf link. Yeah I think its the cables but without a thorough inspection its hard to say...I really hope I am able to restore it, will take a lot of time though!

I am curious to see the paint of all things but pictures would help.

I don't have any pics, don't know why I didn't take any yesterday...I can post some tomorrow night

What if I used this car as a track car, cosmetics don't have any significance if I plan on tracking it...just a thought

Be nice if you could restore it....hate to see a nice special edition be used only as a track car. You got it for a good price - fingers crossed it's not too bad mechanically and you can bring her back to life!
