The thing is my sisters car once we fix it up, it's been sitting for awhile, we just rebuilt the carburetor, and it runs good, there just some little stuff, that needs some attention, I'll try and get some pics up, but it's been raining for awhile here, once it let's up, I'll take some pics for you, it's pretty nice except for the hardtop, but we're looking to get a soft top for it tho.

Brandon, when bleeding the brakes, don't forget the clutch slave cylinder. Do it last, after the brakes. Hate to preach like an old geezer, but, since I AM an old geezer: If you get the need for speed, don't do it on the highway. Enroll in a PCA Driver's Ed event. You'll learn car control, become a better, safer driver and less apt to do something stupid on the open road.

Welcome new owner...
Good luck, be safe. Oh yeah, Hide Food on the leather is my $ .02 cents, that way the seats will be as soft as a co-ed's /cheerleaders ***.
PS., look me up if you ever decide to sell the OEM 17" et 55 Cup II wheels.

+1 on the driving school notion. There's nothing like understanding the 911 chassis with each and every time you go out for a ride a practice. Man,, its good for the soul. The next thing you know and your hooked. You will never drive another car like you do the 911.

The Euro bleeder does it...and lots of other cars ...like the MINI, etc. To save time, use a turkey baster to remove the old fluid from the reservoir (which requires prying out the strainer cup). Don't forget to cover your fender with a big towel or soft rubber mat. You'll need to go to www.p-car.com to learn about pinching off the vent tube and the rest of the procedure. I'd suggest using ATE Super Blue or the equivalent ATE Typ200 (gold). Sequence is RR,LR,RF,LF, then the clutch slave.
