Survivor SC: Inspecting the Fuel System and Other Work Begins

With a car that's been sitting for years (decades?) the first thing to understand is that you're not just going to put a fresh battery in it and turn the key.  The fuel has probably gone stale (does it smell like old varnish?  if so..it's turned sour and won't burn)  and you might have a lot of cleaning and flushing of fluids to do before you can start to even think about starting the car.

Survivor SC

We found a 1978 911SC in remarkably original condition and we're starting to get it back on the road.  It's got just 35,000 miles on it and has been off the road for nearly 20 years.

While We're In There...
    
    A funky feeling clutch on our 1987 911 Turbo started a bit of a project for us as we fix it correctly, and address some "while we're in there" parts. Our car has only 19,000 miles on it, but the clutch has never felt quite right. The low miles are one thing, the fact that our car will celebrate its 30th birthday next year means there's actually quite a bit to do.

Any Old Porsches Hanging Around?

Dear Stoddard, 
 I enjoyed chatting w/ you at Hershey. As promised, attached are photos documenting how I jacked my rusty 1962 S-90 sunroof coupe up into my garage ceiling. I think car is Oslo Blue, wheels and interior are red. This happened around 1985. I am in plaid shirt with curly hair at the time.

Hershey Video Posted 
    
    We make the pilgramage to Hershey, Pennsylvania every year for the Central PA Region of the PCA's killer swap meet and car show.  It's the official sign that Spring has finally hit the Northeast and we're eager to see all the cool stuff that people drag there.  Along with some pretty stout sunburns, we also got a short video of some of the action.
