Default She's alive! My $990 porsche runs

Woot, brought her back to life. After 2 years of sitting, the car runs.
All it took was a new head (ported/polished), overhauled injectors, all belts and timing things, water pump, thermostat, vacuum lines, battery, fuel pump + lines + filter, oil + filter and some new coolant.

I still need to replace some gasoline lines, the car leaks it like no other. But the runs... weeeee!

Is it still a $990 Porsche after repairs?

Anyhow, it is always good to see someone save one.
Nice work!
