Hows it going everyone. Heavy equipment mechanic living in the last frontier. I bought a 1994 968 convertible for $500 this past winter. Long story short I was in the right place at the right time. Never thought I'd own a porsche let alone one for so little. It needs a lot of work to restore it to its proper beauty. Thank God I have all the tools to do the job right.

Welcome aboard, I seriously recommend you don't drive it until you have looked at the new owners guide on this forum. For that money and your location there's a good chance it is short on maintenance and a snapped, loose, slipping cam belt bring it all to a very sad end in a hurry.
Seriously, don't move it until you've checked the cam belt.
Good luck with it all !

The car has sat for 12 years, so I won't be driving it until I have taken the engine and transmission apart. I plan on inspecting every piece and reusing all the parts I can and replacing what needs to be replaced. My biggest dilemma is I need an engine harness, engine bay harness and chassis harness. I also have to replace all the fabric material in the cab and replace a few body parts. The frame is in good shape and there isn't any rust that I can tell. I haven't seen any 968's in fairbanks. I know there is at least one in anchorage

Welcome, there is a lot to know about these cars, but there are some very experienced people on here that have already had every problem you are likely to face.
Make a few more postings then you can upload some pictures, I would be very interested to know what your car looks like and what options it was given by Porsche. There are some folks on here that can give you a lot of good information based on the VIN and the build tag.
