Excellent! Now I know where to go if my CEL ever comes on

You bet but with the pristine shape your car is in it likely to be in a decade or so...maybe! ;-)

Congratulations Mike! I bet it feels good.
Actually I am kindof numb...I drove the car off to the body shop as soon as I finished my first 120km run and that's that last I have seen of it...and they are backed up and hopefully they will start to take a look at it Thursday. So its wait, wait, wait. I did cleanup the shop...what a mess! I am now tallying up the bills to see how much this whole thing cost...

Cheers,

Mike

Hey mike I was away for a while and missed your stage 13 and 14. I just discover those today!!!!! holy crap, that must have been close to a hard attack when your turn the key and the engine didn't start! I'm happy to read that now every thing is ok! You did a fantastic job there, congratulations!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing that experience with us. I really appreciate. I saved all your steps in a pdf file(we never know...)



Cheers

My 993 TT is getting a new top end right now so I stumbled on this thread. Sorry to bring this thread back up (but you all know this thread is worth it) ..Ive learned two important things after reading all of it..1) Mike is a mechanical god 2) My bill $$ from the top end job isnt that bad
