Thanks for bringing this thread back to page 1 (from page 6) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


A friend came by the shop to help fix some broken stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

He welded a set of new rear stabilizers on my trailer (the PO must have driven off with the original ones in the deployed position ... can see where a set used to be) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Attached Image


... and fixed a tear in a 911 rear engine mount bar

I also had a set of 912 J-pipes extended by a local muffler shop a few days ago, so since I had the grinder handy, cleaned up their [uh, not-so-perfect] welds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Attached Image

I'll try to paint these with 2000° paint tomorrow and hopefully installed on the motor ...

drove it and parked beside this very classic car! Was not able to sneak on it since all windows are open and If something was stolen, they
may blame on me. See there is even a police car parked infront of us. Is this grandpa's car is a bait for someone? hhhhmmmm

Be careful around those big, old, heavy, thick-metal cars. One similar to that one killed James Dean (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Finally got the rear trunk shox installed today.

I was kinda scared to put the torsion springs back in there so this was the only solution.

I don't have to carry my grandma's bloom in the trunk anymore...

Installed a new starter motor & bushing in the Westy (this task took a bit longer than anticipated - feel free to ask why) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

... and celebrated Halloween (handing out candy to the local kiddies) ...

Had the starter in my '74 replaced today with a high torque starter. Hoping it will fix the hot-start problem I have been experiencing. The "original" starter turned out to be a Bosche rebuilt starter.
