Default Tony, how do you like that car?

Be sure to ask Tony how he likes his new car.

Hang on John - I'm in the middle of figuring how to shift the engine and clutch back to bolt up to the transaxle like REAL Porsche.
There's plenty of room in the rear pass compartment, so the mod should be simple. Will be more of a mid-engine solution, but still closer to rear-engine nirvana.

Next thing to figure is how to place a strong member center front of the undercarriage so the car can be jacked up from front and center. This business of jacking it one side at a time is driving me crazy!

Oh yes, and before I move the engine back where it belongs, I'll need to color code the five hundred fifty two feet of assorted vacuum hoses required to run this thing. Half of the hoses just disappear into the void, and are impossible to trace. Might try pulling a few off and see what happens. No respectable engine needs this much plumbing.

Still haven't figured out what that Powerful Steering Fluid does. Sounds like a marketing story, right?

Have you noticed how these FEWC guys get so touchy about their cars??

The real question should be ... how much does Tony miss 999 ?

Hope you get it all sorted out by 3/13 TK
