So the build begins...

Andy, thank you for the kind words...trust me this is a learning process on my part as well. Every time you dig into a car for the first time you are learning.

The 3.4 question has rattled around in my mind as well for awhile...heck even the idea of what Scott is doing at Renegade Motors in Vegas is on my radar screen. But there is a special connection with this car as it has allowed me to go back and capture a feeling I had when I was growing up and still lived on our ranch in NM.

In high school my car was a used 74 Limited MG Midget Mk III with a 1.2L engine that I rebuilt and drove everywhere and I mean everywhere. The fun I am having in the car with this engine is enough right now. As my speed fix still comes from my race bike and Hayabusa's. I think in the end I will only change power plants should anything catastrophic happen to this one and I am hoping that is a long ways away.

Good work Eric! I always look forward to the posts. I am learning a ton from you, as I am just starting to compile parts. Your work is helping a lot. You said it took 6 months worth of research, effort and parts ordering to culminate in the completion of your dream car.

There are a bunch of us watching to see that happen. And hoping we can do the repairs on our terms - like you are doing. Hopefully we will catch the IMS as you did - JUST BEFORE any bits went down the tubes!

Keep the pics coming! We always look forward to the next installment in the saga of
"How the Porsche Turns!"
