Default Hey Manfred (Pics inside)

Just some teasers man.

Just a few of the plated goodies, more goes on the car.



Some of the powder coated and painted parts.







A few of the throttle body with new bearings.





More hoses and your big injectors, we will Sharktune for the new injectors.



Hoses at the rear.



Bilstien goodness





Taking care of many issues here, and other places.



all of the pins were done, as are your tensioner pads, plus some leaky seals that will be taken care of.
The pins were like used bubble gum, very soft.



I got to get back to work after lunch, just wanted to let you see some teaser pics.

Greg

PS, many other things have been done to your car, still have many left, but when we are done, it will be one of the most mechanically sound GT's in the USA.

Also, there will be a post coming up on a Sharkwoofer install, what a great addition to any 928, mine sounds great.

Wow! Greg, do you have matching color fender covers for every car you work on?

Looks great! Who is Manfred? Rlist name?

Colors might have been stolen from Dwayne.

This is the way this project has went for me, this is just one little instance ot the crap that I deal with every day.

I have given Metal Finishers of Atlanta a LOT of work lately, they are 2 hours away from my shop, but the shop foreman lives less than 5 miles from my house.
I offered to give him 20 bucks and told him I would be where ever he wanted if he would just bring the parts to meet me after he got off of work, it might take him 5 minutes of his time.

This guy tells me that he just does not have time to do that.
He has done it for Paul Hunt, that is why I knew he lived so close to me.

Pissed it not a good word for what I am right now, and I know I should not be, but I sure am.

I want to edit that, if this guy (John, the shop forman) would have said, sorry man, i am going to be working late, or my kid has a ball game, pretty much anything other than what he said it would not have bothered me.
That and the fact we had talked about him bringing the parts home with him so he could meet me when I dropped them off.

Sadly, we will use all that R12 and more that we have soon, at least we have it now and can still get it.
