HK:

I'm trying to learn more about what I received. I do know it's rebuilt. It's
a 1998 Porsche, but that's all I've got at the moment. I'm going to do some
more research [ask the woman I got it from, although see admitted she didn't
have a lot of experience with this. Her late husband did most of the work on
it]. I'll take some pictures of it and send them along to you and others on
the list and perhaps you all can tell me if what I have is a gem or not.

Thanks.

Bill, what about the 98 Porsche motor?  Is that for real, or is that
wishful thinking?

Please details!
