Exclamation Waldo for sale: getting his oil leak fixed

To the folks who were intersted in Waldo, I had mentioned an oil leak from the valve cover gaskets when he was allowed to sit more than 4 or 5 days. My plan was to fix the oil leak when I did some more serious upgrades, such as turbos. The stock turbos are still in great shape, and now that Waldo is going to be sold, my plan is to invest the $1000, and have the engine resealed.

If someone is interested in Waldo and is thinking about a pair of Kevin's turbos, I'd hold off fixing the oil leak, and knock the $1000 off the price of the car. The work is scheduled to start on Friday, 7/1.

Offers?

Rufus should be here in about 10 days... with the holiday, I'm guessing 7/7. I'll know more later on.

Steve, the total idiot, couldn't turn down what looked like an outstanding deal on a 99,000 mile, arena red/grey 993TT (sound familiar?) that had the complete Ruf Turbo R conversion done 12,000 miles ago. I bought the car sight unseen (but with lots of help from a local Rennlister) from Alabama. It will be on a truck on Friday. Poor Waldo. I love Waldo. I never, ever thought I'd sell him. He must go to a Rennlister.

Congrats Steve!
I saw "LAT" 's RUF CTR2 last week in Ontario (at his house) and absolutely fell in love!!!!!!!!!!!,
Huge obnoxious rear spoiler!, Center exit exhaust, Racing seats for harnesses, etc. etc.,
what an awesome car (it is not for sale).

I wanted the black CTR2-Sport in Dallas. But it was sold right in front off my nose!
