I got a few small things for myself...

Motor mounts
Oil pan gasket
Oil pan stud kit
Gts baffle
Ball joint
Steering rack rebuild kit
Delrin steering rack bushings
Spare intake and cam tower covers to powder coat so I can just switch them and not wait when I do my cam tower gaskets

Also got a cool torque wrench one of those with the fancy interchangeable ends...
Also got a leather center armrest lower section cover...

And a partridge in a pair tree....


Next month I am getting my son a two post lift for his birthday.....lol

My wife's gonna leave me

I would have liked to have given myself a present of one of those for Christmas, but I'm waiting on you guys to see if you can wring their necks like a chicken ... ... crank it up and don't spare the horses!

Hopefully I can report on one with Constantines super bearings in the New Year.

Steven, I have used that one two or three times already. The last one I suggested was that Hacker had assured us that these cars will begin soon to increase in value. I have two 64s that I paid $2850 for one and trade for about $2000 in fees for the other that I have told her are now worth about $50,000 to $75,000, even in their "project" condition, so it makes sense to buy as many 928s as I can now so that I, or she, or my other heirs will be rich with the values they will achieve in the not too distant future.

It is sort of like my wondering why my dad did not see the value in Vail CO real estate when he had a cabin just minutes from there in Minturn for so many years. Why did he not buy up some or all of it before the old soldiers from Camp Hale figured it out? He was there earlier than they were.

Anyway, I don't want my kids to be asking about why their dad did not buy more 928s than he did.

I don't know if she is buying it or not.

16 years after living through a major bushfire we just bought a fire pump , as the vegetation has regrown.



Probably never have to use it but it will make washing the car a 10 second affair

As reported elsewhere, a Max Jax lift. I was considering an iMac 5K, but I'll make more friends with the lift.

An Oklahoma Joe smoker and a Timney trigger for the Weatherby 7 mm mag. The shark gets her gifts in the spring, when I wake her up.

We brought this home today. Gary on the left is the PO and that young man on the right inspecting the undercarriage, is my son, Sam.

1987 S4 A/T with folding wing, squirter block, cup mirrors and a set of Cup II wheels from Wheel Enhancement (not pictured)

I think this is our third 87 with folding wing and squirter block. Fourth if you count the one I parted out...

Hope to have running soon.
