Larts is an enthusiast, got a new car

I got a hold of another 951 is a 87, my older son really loved the car the engine is bone stock, suspension is m474 with progressive rate springs and weltmeister 28mm and 19mm sways. The car was purchased with the intention of parting at first we thought it was a blown head gasket, but the problem with the car was the common oprv / oil filter housing gasket fail it was mixing the oil with the water at the reservoir, so two nights and seal was replaced, we flushed the engine 3 times and now is running like a champ, it’s amazing what a set of fresh hands can do, all I did was guide my son, the procedure incredibly was all in my mind after reading countless threads and taking apart God knows how many 951’s it was like if the shop manual was in my brains, 153k original miles and sport seats, polished club sports.

I also replaced the fuel lines it was a piece of cake even with the extra abs lines there

Two alive 951’s
Goals for these cars
The red needs cam seals so I am going to reseal one of the cams that I have out and just swap it.
Both of my sons want to be powered by Rogue M-tune so we are saving for that.
I still have the same passion for these cars as I did years back.
