    here is my Son's Little project..

    My son has gotten the bug of the porsche..

    He is 7 years old but was raised all his life on Porsche everything..

    We found a old 911 T , 1970 targa, its Matching numbers engine and Transmission. He has been very involved in the restoration. He has spent all of his summer so far hanging around the shop , schnellautosports.com, supervising and making our life's a little crazy at times.. but he is like a sponge for information so far..

    My son's plan is to put the car back to its former glory and he wants to sell the car later for his college fund.. he says.. So me and mom decided to support his cause..
    he wants to give the former owner a ride on his old car after its done..


    he was actually the one that made the deal with the previous owner.



    here he is in his first garage find.

    two weeks later, after all the machining was done..

    the P and C were very well in spec.. so we decided to still use them.. all we did was redoo the case .. with helio coils in the studs and match each side. the bearing are still standard.. the car had only 35k original miles on it.. the top end was redone..

    and the motor put back together
