Wow -- lots of room for repairs/upgrades at that price! If you diy, please share your experience here. I for one would love to read about it.
If PCNA fixes the rust, that's one incredible deal.

John, welcome to the 993 world. That car certainly will be happy with you, even with the open heart surgery it will receive in your hands. Im glad I could assist you in finding that great car. Now, there are some mods I need you to do so I can find out if they are right for my 96. clutch, flywheel, big reds, PSS9, short shifter, short gear tranny, 3.8L, you get the point.
This sponsorship is going to be fun....stay tuned for details.

You guys are killing me here! I'm trying to get some quality manual reading done... 
Seriously - now that Alfie has posted - I want to thank both him and the folks at Ira Porsche. I met with one of their TECHs earlier today - and he was terrific. He had his own 356 on the lift, and we spent some time just chatting. I'd give you his name - but for now - I'm not sure he wants the publicity. Yes - he an enthusiast and yes, he knows Porsches, and yes, he knows Rennlist....
As for the rest of you......
The rust bubbles might be covered by PCNA???? I didn't know that - seriously! My thanks!!!! Let me check that out.....
Alfie - I probably will use my 993 to try a number of conversions. BUT - since you have a C2 and I'd be doing them for you - we can split the costs (hey buddy - YOU are the one who got me into this mess!! )
Kim: There is a group buy on a cooler of some sort? Outstanding. Now - if someone could point me to WHERE my 993 has a cooler.. (Just kidding)....
Pics: Yep - they are coming...
RS Flywheel - according to the Tech in our conversation - "Yes - very good. You may find that idle changes a bit due to the lighter mass. What would you like to know?...." I like that TECH.....
Danny - Phil - Autobahn - Chris - Rich- well - ALL OF YOU..!!! My sincerest thanks!!!
As a side note to Rich..... Your interview with the POC Magazine was one of the highlights of Rennlist for me personally over the past 6 years. I just want to say "Thank You". Since that "interview" several years ago, the site continues to change, grow and become a mirror of what Porsche enthusiasm is all about. This thread - along with about 800,000 posts here and another 1,000,000 to the e-mail Forums bear that out. As for me - heck, I haven't changed. I just get excited every time I walk into my garage, or see another Porsche on the street - or view the Rennlist site.
POC, and your work with POC - has the same merit and carries the same enthusiasm.
Our thanks for that....

I'm thrilled for you - I was wondering what was going to replace your car and while I'm sorry you won't get to experience the classic 964, well a 993 is a pretty good fall-back
....and they are not a bad bunch of guys on this board either
Enjoy and I too look forward to seeing pictures and hearing about your mods on my second favorite type of 911!

John,
I agree with you 100% as I feel the same way. I knew Rennlist was really special back then, and your interview was a personal highlight for me, too. You were so easy going during our conversation that it made my job very easy!
I'm happy to hear about your 993 purchase, John. I'm a fairly new 993 owner, as well (5 months).

Welcome.
I know you do visit occassiopnally, but you're gonna like spending a lot of time around here. Wait til you meet our spiritual leader, JimBob Jumpback. He knows a lot about the 993 and about life.
Also, given that your brakes are frozen to the rotors, you've already been prequalified for HWFM Racing membership if you're interested. You can be Team Geek, or Team Administrator, whichever you prefer.
Congrats on your new car.
Mike

John,
Welcome to the 993 pack. It's an honor to have you amongst us.
First, let me give you three early words of encouragement:
Pedro's Ice Wax
So naturally, the 993 Board will now be getting complete and utter preference over all other boards since the king now resides here, right??????
