I drove mine to work!

Oh and yesterday, I had a local shop check the tension on my belts, as I did it by feel on my first belt job ever.

He said I did a pretty good job

Why? Mine just looks like a 951 on jack stands. It would have been great to have pics when it was on fire but I was a little busy at that moment.

Where is my wife when I need her.

Started installing pistons into my block and realized I had somehow misplaced my new connecting rod nuts. Time for a drive across town to the Porsche shop...

Dropped the engine, removed the dash and started pulling wires. New tub is just waiting to be picked up.

Just got back from Helen GA. A few of us from Tallahassee went to the Southern Worthersee car show. It's a European show once a year. Its the second year we went ans had a great time. Over 860 cars.

Heres a pic from the drive up, my buddy had a loose brake caliper that needed tending to.

Now that is looks like spring in Syracuse ...Did the big clean ... mats out, washed the glass inside & out, vacuum the all carpets,sucked up a consul switch delete-snap plug...but retrieved it from the dust bag...

I treated the leather, back to black the wing & bumperettes, then wash & waxed waxed her...pics you say OK...

BTW I am guessing it is an ok annual thing here to find deteriorated plastic part remnants (see on the seat) when you vacuum out every so often???

OK ....ready for rain now!!!
