Time to bring back home the beast !
I plan the things to do. First : Engine. 2nd : Brakes and suspensions. 3rd : body frame. 4th : Interior.
So first thing to do, engine restoration !
I begin by cutting the hood cable, and thank you Porsche, there is a LOOOOT of space to take it. And that's a lot of dirt, leaves, nuts....

But it's in a pretty good shape for a 20years no running. I was waiting for a bigger deal.
So lets take off everything around the engine (cooling system, air intake...), and clean up every part a little bit each time i get it in my hands. (some less work to do then)

Some corosion in the 2nd intake, but not a big deal after a quick clean.
the coolant is become grease with time (i could put it in any bearing balls
). I was scared to discover a head gasket failure.
So let's take off the cylinder head !

And.... Well.... We can see that it haven't runned correctly for a long time... In France we have a web site, wich relate every technical control and accident. It says about this car, that the odometer hasn't change from 1995 to 2002. But it passed the control every 2 years.
My conclusion is that the last owner just let the engine warm, and stoped it, without runing it on the road. That should be the reason for all that nasty things in cylinders.
But well, it's the game ! I'm here to restore it fully ! So let's roll up one’s sleeves !
We can see some small problem of lubricant on camshaft. I think it's just because it didn't run often enought, and it has to start on dry pads. Not a big deal, a small sanding with a very fine grain should do the job correctly.
