Hey that Shell station in the picture is right across the street from my brother's house.
You had a lousy weather day, but car looks sweet.

I would have to got the Turbo you were looking at. If he didn't want to do a ppi , I would have done it my self . It is not that difficult to do. That was a well documented car an a great buy for a nice turbo. Good luck with your new ride, good looking car.

There was a lot more involved in that deal that feel through...
I am in Atlanta to start with and the car in in California. Yes, a PPI is not that hard to do but I wanted to do a leakdown test as well.
The motor was well documented but it was his first engine build on a Porsche motor and was built in his garage. I am sure it's a great car but I could not afford a gamble of that magnitude. A Proper PPI and I would have been all over it. It's water under the bridge at this point as I have my new one and I am happy.
