Default She's alive!

Finally got my TB and front end refresh done, and what a difference!, I thought my shark performed well enough before, but after 3 days of my mechanic going over the whole engine, hola! Performance has increased, and the whole car feels better all round, during his inspection we found multiple vac leaks, both distributors were replaced, timing was way off and general seals and gaskets replaced, the water pump whilst still serviceable got replaced at the same time.

I found a mechanic who started life as a Porsche mechanic, and has worked on nothing else since, the expertise of this guy is amazing.

Sounds like it's time to take that car out and drive it (a lot)!

Nothing like the surprise of being pleasantly surprised by a car you already loved.

Growler, its like a new car, been waiting patiently to find the right mechanic(10 months) and the wait was well worth it, to have an experienced guy under the hood, talking porsche the whole time, was fantastic, this guy knows his stuff.
