I know some people think it is Snobby to say Porsche properly - it is pronounced Porscha - but it is a name - it's kind of disrespectful to misprounounce someone's name - esspecially if you like what the produced and put their name on isn't it?

@tnmtemerity My apologies, but in Australia this is usually how we say it. No disrespect intended.

Nice Porsche, tell me how much did it cost inc delivery and how many Hours you plan to invest to restore this beauty??

[tonus888]

@cristoretornebiblia In Australian dollars you can buy a run down one for between 17 - 25 thousand dollars, usually need to spend a couple of thousand getting the body re-sprayed and spend money on the engine and getting it road worthy. It depends on what condition the car is in as to how much you will have to spend on it. This one needed new paint, motor has oil leaks and needs interior work. I have done a lot of the labour so far but I got it sprayed professionally. approx 50 hrs work so far.

@tonus888 Thanks buddy great info, tell me when you say oil leaks is it the Head Gasket thats gone? You planning on keeping it or seling it

[tonus888]

@cristoretornebiblia leaking from base of one of the bores which requires stripping it down to the block and a new gasket kit through it. Mechanically it is exellent, jut leaking due to a bad gasket fitting. whoever did it was hopeless. I will get it perfect then sell it

[vehiclerandomvideos]
