New member intro and a few ?s ..

Best of luck on your journey & thank you so much for your service. I went off to Parris Island for the summer of '78 after joining the reserves just to learn mechanics. I'm sure your contributions far out weigh mine. When I am in a large crowd & veterans are asked to stand to be recognized I often don't due to the huge disparity of our service. My dad was the guy that spotted the 1st missile site being built in Cuba in Oct. 1962. For this he was sent to Alaska in 1966 instead of Vietnam, I am grateful for this.
Best of luck with your new treatment & be careful with "chemical studies"

Here are a few things to consider

Best choice: low mileage car, less wear on everything; pristine condition; IMS replaced. If original IMS and you plan on keeping the car for many years, go with IMS Solution. This will cost 3-4K

Regardless, get a comprehensive PPI because only then will you know what mechanical shape the car is in and what you’ll need to fix

These cars are expensive to maintain: Porsche parts are really expensive and labor rates are high. If you’re a great wrench turner, this will help lower the cost of keeping the car up. BTW you don’t need Porsche parts, just the equivalent parts from an OEM supplier to Porsche.

Best of luck

thank you .. this is where I am at at this time .. after all my investigations. Outer limit 50K .. hopefully around 35K .. pay a premium yes but less cost in the long run .. I'm planning on driving her until I .. well can't anymore
As for the PPI .. I read somewhere that the leak down and compression tests were invasive ..
??? . should I include horoscope as well? how about pulling the oil filter (ok replacing and cutting open .. even if it has been changed supposedly) ..
