This is my baby. My 1970 Porsche 911E.
It was the first car I purchased on my own. It needed
a bit of work when I first purchased it, but as you
can see from the picture above it has come a long
way. I have put and MSD ignition, Sport Muffler, Stainless
Steel Brake Pistons, Optima Batter, Keyless Entry,
Stereo (Pioneer DHP-2000 with two 10" subs with
a 200watt amp, two 6"x9" speakers in the
sub box, two 4" speakers in the doors, and two
3" speakers in the dash), and a Car Alarm in
it. It has had its' share of misfortunes since I have
owned it, such as being keyed in the Meijer parking
lot, and popping out of gear and rolling down the
hill into an oak tree. But, these all came for the
better. The car now is 3/4 new paint and only has
two body panels that have rust on them. This has to
be one of the most enjoyable cars to have. It's style
is one that transcends all time. For a 2.2L boxter
6-Cylinder it has one heck of a punch when you step
on it. And the sound of that motor going through that
wide open sport muffler is something that just sends
chills up my spine.

In the past I have thought about parting
with this car, but I have now thought better of that
idea. I am about to pull the engine out for a complete
rebuild, and will completely restore the body at the
same time. I am sure this will be a long process,
but the care deserves it. And it just isn't good to
let the engine continue to leak as much oil as it
does. And I would love to see all the rust removed
and this thing look show room new again, if not better.
I will post updates of the rebuild process as it goes
on.
