She wanted to hang a nice, chromed Fuchs lug bolt on the tree, but it was way to heavy.

If anyone has a suggestion for stuff for the "Porsche Christmas Tree" post them here. If I have one, I will add it and take a new picture.

Does she come out in the garage and work on the car too? I've always wondered what it would be like to have a female partner who did more than "drive" the car.

Yes, she does. She helps me with two person jobs on our cars all the time.

Here are more pictures of the tree after we added stuff....

Shop rag tree skirt and fake oil spot.

Doc.. sorry. I don't have any of your special CV bolts. Betty suggested that you get a bunch cad plated and sell them as Christmas ornaments. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

As for the fuses, I have a JWest fuse block in my 914/6, so they are 914 parts.

The wrenches are ones that we don't have to use to fix the real cars!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

As for the table, it was a real 4 lug Fuchs rim that cracked. So we made a table out of it. IIRC, there is a thread here with a bunch of pictures on how we made it.

If it is uncracked, I will buy it from you. I am missing one for a set of 4.

I'm not selling that one. It's the "30 hour labor of love" wheel that I polished myself, sold and ended up buying back the car that it had been installed on. I have others though if you're not in a hurry. I can look through my inventory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Are you going to polish? I have several 4 lug Fuchs that are in various stages of prep for polish. After I did the first wheel I decided that Al Reed was relatively cheap by comparison. Send me a PM if you want to do something.
