Time to head out of paint and body. Off we go to get the engine installed and get her rolling again!

So happy that was the original color. It's been white and yellow over the years. Thank you for your comments! Just happy it's still in the family and coming back to life soon. Cheers!!

Hi Porsche Peeps! It's been a while since last post, but it has taken a very long time to have a wiring harness built for the NM Smyrna Grun car. I think we will see some fast progress now that the 'nerve system' is here and ready to be installed. In the meantime, the need to drive again took over. 30+ years of sitting in an SUV wasn't an option anymore. I made a move to purchase a 1988 Targa right here in my own town!! The 356 will be the center of attention, but the Red Menace is now the daily driver. I have gone over the edge, but so in love with the most fantastic German cars that I grew up with. There Is No Substitute.

Congrats Tammy, nice purchase. Love your 356 too, seems crazy that someone would do a color change on a Smyrna green car. Glad you are bringing it back.

Thank you! Happy Memorial Day :) Headed out to Show Low Arizona to see my mom and dad and do a nice mountain road tour in the red car. Dad will be piloting '68 912, so this should be fun.
