Well, in a way a lot like my situation, only, my kids are grown now and I
simply told the wife it is my turn. No wonder Porsches are considered the
car of the guy in a mid life crisis. Wrong it is the car that no women would
ever let us Porsche lovers from an early age have until they had no reason
left to say no.
Even at that, my projects are taking a two-fold path.
One is the better of the two, I am a very good mechanic, actually I am a
licensed A&P mechanic and engineer, and I am going to build it into a good
reliable car with emphasis on sell, with a move up in mind.
Two is the fun, the parts car, I am going to just have fun and one thing in
my mind FAST and HOT. The wife can discover that later. Mostly, I am at that
age (50) where if I don't get at this soon, it won't happen and I am not
about to let my desire to be cursing around in a nice hot Porsche at some
point in my life go by the way.
We must fight for the right to do what our passions are, or they will never
come.
I had a 924 as well, but never got the chance to work on it, and this is my
revenge on letting that project be taken away from me by the family life.
I have built at least 45 hot Camaro's, 20 Street Rods, a dozen Sports Cars
and about a dozen Classic Restoration jobs in my life. But they were always
for someone else, (well the Camaro's were my passion when I was younger and
you could find them rust free),always as a second job to help support the
family.
My turn now.

Why are you calling these cars SCs - did you swap in 3.0Ls?
