When I saw that first listed for sale I thought what a nice car at that price with a good bit of potential too.

Well done.

That looks a very nice straight car Andy, I expect you will soon have the interior looking very nice too !

Andy, will you weigh it first and then see what you can get out of it yet still tweak is as you will?

My 73T came with a rouge 2.2 on webers when I got it and it was a very nice usable engine imho. Ended up in a VW Splitty.

Any changes I make to the car will all be totally reversible - & I won't be doing anything drastic.

I'm not planning on fitting any grp/composite panels or drilling any holes for weight reduction - just deleting things that are superfluous to me during my time with the car.

I'll start a separate thread on the car in the 'Member's Porsche Gallery'.

Congratulations on the purchase Andy, it does look like a great car and I must admit I was more than a little tempted to go and look at this one myself just wasn't the right time for me.

Look forward to seeing how it progresses.
