Nice pictures and great job.

If I have enough free time to change my oil, I'll be happy.

Tippy, that is a nasty job. Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures. Carb cleaner worked great for me when I had my first 996 engine out. Wouldn't it be great to have a lift? I'm seriously jealous whenever I see somebody that has one in their garage.
I wish I lived close, I would be happy to jump in and share in the fun. Gorgeous car...Good luck.

I was trying to get some creds back.......haha

No big deal, if any RL'ers needed this level of help, I am all for it, it is fun to me.

I have to schedule around the girlfriend, I know what you mean.

I will, once I get the new FW and put it back together. I hope my memory does not fail me, there are a lot more lines and hoses than I originally thought.

Mark, it is fun to me, this is my Bros shop. Yea, a lift would of helped, I had the engine hanging for 2 hours trying to figure out how to get it off of the big wood block.

Thanks Tim, the pics were for you.......
