It has been an extremely busy year for me at work, and with my upcoming wedding, I’ve had little time to even think about the car let alone work on it. I knew when the batteries did not arrive as they were supposed to in September last year, I was going to have trouble working on the car. My slow period at work is from late september to about March, and when the batteries arrived after the new year, I knew I’d have trouble getting it done before I got busy. I also had a pool-house to build, and that project took priority over the Porsche last spring, so no progress on the Porsche. The pool-house is complete, I’m starting to slow down at work now, but nothing is going to happen until after the wedding and honeymoon, which we return from on Halloween. Hopefully I’ll have a productive November and December and have the car back on the road somewhere near New Years Eve. Look for postings to resume in November and I return to this project. It’s hard to believe the car has been down for so long. The other two times the batteries needed replacement, I think I let it sit for about 4-6 months and then the battery installation took only one day and it was back running. This years project is for more substantial as I’m upgrading nearly everything on the car, but still….Its been down since January 2010 and I pulled the batteries out in July 2010 when I ordered the Thundersky batteries. That means it will have been down 2 years once I get it going again.
