The Maintenance Files |
|
One of the joys of owning a 911- especially an
older one - is the ongoing repairing/replacing/maintaining the dozens of little things. I
am now feeling pretty
cocky about my mechanic's skills & the available pool of
cyber-help. One of the reasons I bought the car and also one of the
reasons I could buy the car was my determination to repair and
maintain it. Porsche mechanics get $60 - $100 per hour so I was
going to have to learn quickly. I wanted to keep the visits to an
absolute minimum. Since I have learned so much from the net, I
thought that I should share my adventures for future DIY
specialists. And so the fun begins . . .
