Yes he did. Factory hard top included in the deal.
I love speed yellow Porsches. Hard to find in the 996 series. Lowpue's is one of the best examples on this forum. But I really like yours! This is a 99 model, huh? Oh my, I hope Jake Raby sees this thread, he's a fanatic about the 99 being the holy grail and don't fail like other 996 cars (and a bit of a jerk about it), but IMHO, these '99 cars can crack heads like all 996 cars cracking especially in cold climates. I wouldn't let the shop tell you it's a head gasket, even Raby will tell you that these gaskets never fail, but it's the heads that go bad. Lots of people on this forum send their heads to Hoffman Automotive Machine in Georgia. Apparently, the man is the best at repairing Porsche heads. Maybe he can examine my head! hahahaha
Now that is funny and you wont find any argument from me...
And thanks for the kind words about my 996. I also have a perfect speed yellow 993 Aero. I will share that in the future on another thread when appropriate since I don't want to hijack this thread.
As far as the yellow Cab...love it and enjoy it once sorted out. Its pretty unique.
Yes indeed. Beautiful car, nice options and only 62,000 miles.
Beautiful car, had the same wheels on my silver 99’ cab, until i bent two. Let me know if you would like some extras at a nice price. OZ does not make the barrels any longer.
Thanks for your input and information l I have already called Hoffman and as soon as I get a chance to tear into the engine the plan is to send the heads to him for a thorough evaluation.

Wise choice. I have yet to read anything negative about his services. You'll get top notch results. Let us know how it turns out.
When beginning to disasemble the engine removed from my 99 911 I discovered these metal "Worms" trying to crawl through the screen of the oil pump pickup! I suspect that they are remnants from the rear main seal that was replaced when a shop installed a IMS bearing and new clutch assembly!

On second thought, you and Ahsai are right, looks like the spring from the rear main seal . The coils are too tight for drilling remnants.
