Time has come for me to bite the bullet and fork out some cash on the Agent Orange (seeing as I'll probably now keep it, the 911 dream will have to wait a while).

It needs a cambelt change and also a new clutch. Reckon on doing both of these at the same time and taking the engine out. Sound sensible?

Is a standard clutch the most sensible option? (My car's a 135 engine) Where's the best place to buy and does anyone have a price/part number?

I'll change the fuel filters, do oil and filter as a matter of course, probably change the plugs and fit braided brake lines. It'll need an exhaust at some point too, but that can wait a wee while (got track car plans too.....).

Anything else anyone can think is worth doing?

PRRT & check your engine mounts while you're there.

One of mine is fubared...I'm going to change it before changing the clutch because I think the mount being goosed may be the juddering clutch symptoms i thought I had.
