The 356 was in need of trans rebuild....too many Mikey burnouts with higher than stock HP.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was in the middle of building a new garage and a 914/6 conversion and there was NO place to do the tear down on the 356 at MY house.

So....it went to a shop of a racer I knew that did Beemers and TypeIVs.....we pulled the trans and engine, I did the spider gears and took the top end off and found some leaky valves...... re did the heads and then I went about the garage thing and the 914/6 wrap up.

Since then, the wrench has done pretty much NOTHING....he has recently re-acquired the drinking and marching powder habit and my stuff is strewn about the shop.....

I plan on just yanking everything out of there once I can get him to finish bolting the trans in and getting it on four wheels again.....

what would YOU do?
