Thank you to you both.

Lots more to come as i believe it will help many by sharing the hows but also the “What the Fanta” moments

Have you ever started something you felt would be easy and then wished you never had opened the swimming pool full of worms through no fault whatsoever due to you.

BTW, in case I didn’t say, this car is a 2001 S with full Porsche service history with 3 previous owners inc me. The first owner had the car up to 67,000 miles over 16 years

I had budgeted £2k - £4K for the engine rebuild depending on what shape the cylinders and pistons where in.

More to come tomorrow and thanks again for the words of encouragement
