Talking Words cant explian

Today i finally finished my porsche, after 6 months of waiting, almost a grand in parts and around 24-26 hours of labor. The clutch is done! along the way i changed the front struts, the rear brakes, oil, and countless other little things. But today for the first time in months i heard the sweet rumble of the 944 again. it was like being reunited with my long lost brother. WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN the joy pride, enthusiasm, or exhilaration the comes with owning a porsche. at the age of 17 i will never forget this feeling for the rest of my life.

keep that Idea through out your life of a job well done is worth doing well, and you will be a success at what ever you do, even the little stuff, doing it right the 1st time, costs much less than to do it right the second time.
Good work....pics

Welcome to the bumper to bumper club. I just finished a lengthy project as well. Feels good when you've finished. T shirts are definitely in order.
