Bought it to beat it! In the photo above I broke the output shaft on the transfer case. That was July, finally got it back on the road in Dec. Trying to get money for parts, parts and people to work takes time.

Thanks! Not sure which one your talking about...was it the 944 S2? We've had that for about 2 years. It was bought off a fellow PCA member and friend who had it for about five or six years and was pretty fanatical about keeping clean. It has been described by my Porsche wrench as the being the best one he's every seen underneath. Have to keep myself reminding myself that as I'm constantly thinking about cutting it to pieces and going racing in the 944 Supercup series.

You may have a good point here... give all the world's armies classic English cars w/ Lucas electronics and no one would be able to get to the battle!
