Very interesting! My Dove Blue 37B comment came straight out of the factory WSM for 1989 colors - Baltic was not in there, but apparently it is interchangeable with Dove. Learn something every day.

And 8 years of German class down the tubes. Did not immediately see that Tauren translates to dove. If you look lazily at the translators, sometimes it says pigeon.

When you buy an old Porsche and gauges start working on the way home, you know you have done well.
I've got a good mantra, for you....

"Disassemble one thing at a time, for repair. Plan ahead and have the correct parts present, so you can reassemble the same day. On bigger jobs, set your goal to have it back together in a week."

This works good, for me, on my personal stuff!

Thanks Greg. Exactly what I have done with the White 88, and it has worked well. It was almost always running when I needed.

Brendan,

Congrats. I was thinking of sending an email to purchase this car.. I figured you or Edwards was closer, so I was going to be a few hours late in showing up from NORCAL...

Rob would be the main culprit. This is a bit out of spectrum for me, and I went into it looking for good valid reasons ***not*** to.

It seems so far To have worked out.

I do Have to get the ac working. New lines, and a new compressor supposedly. Looks newish. But dripping.

Brendan, I am going to try to get the GTS off the lift this weekend, maybe there could be an A/C clinic next Friday as it is a campus holiday. Let me see if I can get ducks to line up in a neat row.

That would be awesome. I am buying the Hose Crimper from Mastercool that I mentioned in another thread. Maybe I can get it by then. May not matter though. I have three cars that will need lines, so I may as well.
