That was definitely the case here with our 1976 Porsche 912E suspension overhaul. We ran into some serious issues in the disassembly process but we expected the re-assembly to go a bit smoother. We were very …

So I have this Talbot Yellow 1976 Porsche 912E that I drive a lot. It doesn't get mentioned much here, because it hasn't needed much work, it isn't much of a project car, and I just keep driving it. I have owned this car for just a tick over 2 years, and I take it on long road trips all over the country, racking up over 30,000 miles of in that …

Over a decade ago, the first 912 Rendezvous was held in the tiny German-style town of Solvang, California. That first crew of 912 owners decided on Solvang because the organizers didn't think the average 912 would be capable of a drive any further north from Los Angeles.

Stranded at the side of the road is never a good feeling, especially when you're dealing with an unfamiliar and seemingly phantom electrical problem. I've driven my 1976 912E about 25,000 miles since I purchased it in August of 2016, and it's been absolutely faultless in all that time. It's a little finicky sometimes, but has never left me …

I didn't take time to count, but this might be the largest gathering of Porsches I've seen in one place since Luftgekühlt. EASY has been a staple of the Porsche community for literally decades, and now it's time for shop owner Jim Breazeale to hang up his hat.
