and i'm replacing the front suspension w/a fresh 911. (thank you "Porboys" in Oakland)

seems kinda' lame as i just built my SBC from the ground up. i know engines pretty well, just never done any suspension work before. =-)

second thing on my list is to install the vented cross drilled rotors on the front. (thanks Mar7ck)

lastly, i need to locate someone who can drill hubs to 5 bolt on a 4 bolt hub that has the 5 bolt bosses cast already.

any suggestions or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!
if you can lend a hand i can supply all the pizza and drinks you can throw down.

much thanks,
roger

sorry,

forgot to put i'm in hercules, cali.

kinda between martin and allison baker and sir andy.

Rogersan,

If you are just replacing the struts, it is easy I even did them myself..........20+ years ago.

Ask Mueller about drilling or "maybe" Eric would drill them.

List your tasks in detail and cross them off when done............at least that's how I "heard" it was done.

well, *if* i get my car running on sat., i can swing by.

ripped out the FI harness yesterday, got a good used one and a trashed one from EASY and spend all day making one good one out of three ...


found a easy way to check your FI harness for hidden problems, i may do a writeup on that.

now all i have left is to replace ALL fuel hoses, add a fuel pressure gauge, clean the top of the motor, and put the new harness back in.

Andy

andy, it would be SO worth it to me to help you get her running if you are offering to help me... =-))))

I'm leaving work at about 1pm today and heading home to give some kid the old rims/tires off our Volvo and then got nothing planned except for watching the 14 episodes of Firefly and then Serenity

Hey Roger,

I have to work to night, but should be free tomorrow all day.
I just did my front end for the first time and it is pretty fresh in my head.
I could stop by for about 2 or 2.5 hours from 2 till 4:30 if you want today.

For the drilling I have a small local shop that is going to do the rears for me
and we could do it at the same time to save a few $$$.

Send me you info if you want to get started today.

Leo

Leo,

Absolutely. =-)))))

in my best (homer J. simpson voice)... "Mmmmmm, saving a buck...... aghhhhhhh"



PM is sent.

schweeeeeet.

i should have all the tools. i have no "special" tools though.

i also do not have a real BFH if that's required.... LOL

i've actually started removing the 4 bolt front suspension and it's almost out.

i may have the new front end in but there's still the rear 5 bolt hubs/brakes to look at and get opinions on. =-)

buzz me if ya get lost.

PS,
