Finally made it onto the forum (thanks Cam!). I’ve recently started toying with the idea of getting a kombi (ideally a splitty) and thought this would be a good place to start (or from my wife's perspective, get talked out of it!).
The short version is that I inherited the car gene from my late father and have had an early 911 parked in the garage for a bit over a decade.
So now I’m thinking about the next project… similar to the way I did my 911, I’m looking at the cheaper entry points and doing things over a number of years (even though it normally ends up costing more than buying something already done). Hoping I can get something that is more metal and less rust as I don’t know how to weld (yet?). Leaning more towards a ‘rat’ of sorts (keeping nice paint shiny is hard enough on a little 911!!) with the intention to work over the suspension to make it handle better than the one we hired the other weekend…
