What have you been doing to the car since you've not been working for the last 4 months?

That's a crap load of work even for 8-10 people. I hope you guys can pull it off.

Sir - the work you describe is not a 'tech session' for you, or anyone else in the metroplex, unless we have a few noobs that want to get their hands in. A 'tech session' is training with some work along the way. As much as I would like to see your car back together, I didn't get much help with my GT engine rebuild at Roger's house, and only one guy has helped me get it back in the car, and running right. For that, I try to get him Rangers game once in a while.

I would look forward to the day when job/family responsibilities might ease up enough (do they ever?) and I might have enough skill/experience (will I ever?) to be able to help out in these types of situations.

I find the 'online' help here far more than I could ask for already, and I am surely appreciative of that.

Hope this all goes well.

Just to bring this back on track for you... You might want to edit your post and add for those unassuming noobs, what you are willing to do for them (beer, pizza, etc) to offset thier weekend under your car. Just a suggestion.

So I have to do things around the house to make it more palatable should I have to short sale. I have to get the 928 back on the ground and not driveable so I can move it to another location should I need to liquidate my home.
Been there, done that, it sucks. Wish I lived closer where I could help out. I'm with you in spirit, if not person.

I think if we could get your car and pieces to a place where Sean and Mo(wichita) together with a bunch of scut puppies like myself. we could knock this out in 5 days..... and a lot of donation money from others to offset the cost of the two top regional 928 uber specialist to collaberate !!!!!!

Sterling, I have a commitment on 10/13-15, but with some advance notice of the date I will do what I can to be there. On another note my days off are Mon./Tues. so those days would be a lot easier.

You ain't kidding man. Working off our backs, too.

Don't schedule for weekend of 10/7. I'll be out of town for Rhonda and my anniversary.
