Thanks for the pics bri! 964 kids....

Hello Dan

Yeah wheels are for sale, might be a tough sell as they are a little different than what you normally see on 964's. If they don't sell so I keep em. No bigs.... I do like the flags but I've purchased another set of mirrors already.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

 

Beautiful!

 

I LOVE those wheels, 'different' isn't a dirty word in my book!

 

964 getting some love....




Cleaning it up....






New rollers....

I have more stuff I don't have pics of because I'm lazy and there's a bunch of stuff getting ceramic painted and powdercoated....

 

My buddy dan aka Lateforlunch is the man behind the curtain on all the engine stuff. I cannot thank him enough!

 

Wow, I'm in Los Angeles too; where is this garage your work is being done and what is the name of it please?

Your car looks great

 

Thank you! I'm sorry I forgot to mention dans shop.... It's called accutrack in manhattan beach. Sepulveda and 6th. He's a true magician with Porsches and I've known him for over a decade

 

Saw those wheels at Rotiform and they are absolutely gorgeous! Love the double step lip and raw finish! Gonna look great on your car!

 

Wow! What a stunner

 

Andy, what was the reason for dropping the engine and gearbox, just to clean them and the engine bay?

Car looks great by the way!

 

......cool car

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

We dropped it to fix oil leaks and vacuum leaks, new motor mounts clutch and RS flywheel valve adjustment and tune up.... Fresh cad plated hardware and yeah just pretty it up. The fan housing and VC's are getting ceramic painted. I didn't paint the intakes tho because I'm looking for a set of aluminum ones. All the engine tins are getting fresh black powder coat, etc... After this I'll tackle a new front bumper and maybe some other do dads.

I feel so good all that oil caked on there is now gone and it's getting some love. I feel like a better porsche owner now lol....

Thanks again for the good words

 

Nice work. Freshly cleaned parts FTW! Are those the Function First transmission mount inserts?

Dropping the motor is the way to go, just knock everything out at once. I should have done it at least once by now, instead I suffered working within the confines of the engine compartment, and man, these cars are not engineered to be worked on in that manner. It's a beatdown.

 

Man, I need friends like yours:-) Looking forward to the next round of photos.

 

Yeah, I couldn't do any of this without the help of my main dudes. Much respect to those fellas.... Vandit, not sure what they are. The trans spent most the day in the parts washer the day we pulled it. My guess is they are stock mounts.
