engine and drivetrain What have I done? (newbie says "hello")

[deschodt]

Funny how lots of us have similar tastes in cars and float around the Porsche, BMW and Alfa circles... ;-) I also like that this board and others don't necessarily diss the other brands, probably because we've all gone around the block with several brands...

I did what you did but it was not a trade... The only flaw in your cunning plan is that a restored 911T would probably pull on average 10K more than a restored 2002 for similar expenditures (rust is rust). Then again, maybe your 2002 is less rusty and change is good ! I love mine (despite its current cracked head).

I'll tell you what though, you can do a lot of upgrades on the 2002 motor for a lot less than on the 911! It's fun... Then again there are some weird things like super expensive door panels and annoying water cooling issues ;-) Enjoy and best of luck !

PS: My projects

2002 needs fender rust repair and a paint job

911 SC (dismantled) is turning into a 73 clone/race car

912 (white) needs paint

All cars together cost less than a new VW GTi ! ;-)
