Default Side work Mechanic (Porsche)

Looking to see if there is a Porsche mechanic that might do side work on there own time. Have a 911 that has been sitting for several years and want someone to get it back to road ready shape. Thanks

Good year to own! That era I do suspension, accessories and rust. No motor rebuilds No gearboxes.

There is someone on this board who does 915 gearboxes. If you turn out to be a nice guy, he might help you. Why don't you list known issues and unknown worries...

The car ran fine when it was taken off the road around 2005. I drained all the gas out this past weekend. The gas was not as bad as I had imagined it would be. I figured it needs new fuel filter, Complete Tuneup and would like to have the valves adjusted and brakes gone over.

Why don't you introduce yourself, tell us a little about yourself and your car. Most of us go by first names. You might not need a certified mechanic for that stuff as many of us here have done all that for ourselves and our friends...
