Just saw a piece on Fox News highlighting McPherson (sic) College in Kansas …
Specializing in auto restoration……Wonder if they will accept me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . You know talent is needed when a major news outlet runs a feature on car restoration. |

Customer restored this one because his father bought it new. It sits in his garage.
We sold the Porsche tractor for a customer of ours. He planned to restore but lost interest. We did get it running. Attached image(s)

I don’t remember the Porsche tractor story - did you ever post about it? That’s a good OT thread! There’s no real story. Customer bought it, it sat outside for a couple years. He wanted to sell and offered $500 if we could get it to fire up. Challenge accepted. Sold it for around what he paid and it was gone. I think the Ford had about $7-10k in restoration dollars to do everything. Rebuild engine, trans, paint, etc. Nice showpiece that has great memories for the owner. |
