The good, the bad, and the ugly
The Good
I'm taking advantage of having the engine out the car to upgrade the clutch to the 964RS LWFW/764PP/GT3RS 4.0l disc set-up...
And replacing the stock transmission mount with the stiffer 997 version...
A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to acquire a brand new old stock X73 suspension kit (motor mounts and all)....
The Bad
The reason I have the engine out is to repair the faulty coolant fitting that gave way...
I chose to go the welded route for the coolant fitting repair...
The Ugly
Rather than pay for a rental car to sit in my driveway, I've decided to use the local public transportation for my minor travel needs...
Good times....good times....
Let's just say, I can't wait to get my car back.

You're going to like the suspension and the clutch. (I have X73 and 964RS etc clutch). Latter much improves the throttle response.

I know nothing about welding. I know the shop was proud of the work. Glad you concur.
That Clyde shot is classic! I love when Ruth Gordon cuts loose with the shotgun.
My shop (Precision Motorwerks - Greg Brown) is highly meticulous and thorough. I'm letting them take their time. Besides, I'm having too much fun on the trolley.

Nice, when all together check the welds for leaks, I am sure they will be okay, but have heard that some welds had slow leaks due to some voids in the weld and base aluminum.. One other thing you may want to also use these on that transmission mount
