Cool, welcome!

Ontario can be pretty close to MI, and there's a lot of 924board.org members in Ontario too - whereabouts in Ontario?

if someone can tell me how to get pics from my email to here, i will!! ha ha.

Details of the car...

1987 Black 924s, 5 spd, cloth/leather sport seats, ac power windows heated mirrors, sunroof, etc... The original owner was a client of my partners, and sold it to us last summer. He had all the service records, warranty papers, extra parts etc in the books, and it needed a rear tail light to safety... so we scooped it up promising to continue to maintain it as he had! I drove it for the winter (i know i know, its not a winter car) but we were looking for a beater for me, to drop a car payment, and this beautiful girl fell into our laps, for the right money, so we had to do it. We had 32 dents pulled out of the car, and the original paint waxed and buffed out... then applied chip guard paint to the rocker panels and front and rear lips (to protect from the imminent "first winter" of driving this car had ever seen in almost 20 years )
We also replaced the factory stereo with an Alpine MP3/CD with satellite radio and all the toys, and new speakers all around. (no thumping bass... just clean sound) Just before winter we replaced the tires with Pirelli Winter Carving rubber... and had the most fun driving this year i have ever had (and I have owned quite a few cars in my short time driving) We have since replaced the battery and starter. It is pretty close to mint, but with almost 200,000 kms mint is pretty hard to accomplish!! It was etested in october, as a 944 (has to be tested as a 944 since it has 944 drivetrain...) and passed with results none of us had ever seen (including the test facitlity)
We have it up for sale right now, at a ridiculously low price, because we both have company cars and just dont have the time to maintain it, and drive it, but we want it to go to the right person. (it is a car that likes being driven every day, not sitting around, and needs to be kept up as we promised the original owner! )
Anyways, if theres any more info you would like feel free to ask... And offer suggestion on how to get pics up.

thanks so much! Its so nice to hear such good things from fellow Porsche enthusiasts. We are pretty new at the game (well in the last 2-3 years we graduated from hondas...ha ha) and sometimes i feel its like your kid, everyone thinks their own kid is perfect, so its great to hear others think it looks as great as we have tried to keep it!
