like Christmas, but really dirty. Almost nothing was bagged and labeled. So I tried to organize
by separating the parts, trying to put certain parts in bins to keep them ready for “that section” of the rebuild. I may get in trouble with this next statement, but whoever took this Porsche apart and boxed it up the way they did, should have a good scolding. (Feel free to insert a more colorful verb if you wish, as I had to restrain myself).
Next, I made a list (thanks Pelican Parts) of what I thought
I would need as far as new parts for each area of the car (brakes, engine, suspension, etc.) I put together a budget plus a margin of error. (good thing, because I have used it all; so Sean was right again). Setting the list up by section of the car not only helped break the project down in more manageable projects, but it made paying for the items over time
so much more budget friendly.
If you think you have your list complete before the build, you
