Hat tip for doing all that bodywork in your garage!

Can you post up a link for the compressed air powered brake bleeder?

New game - guess what's under the tarp

I'm thinking air cooled 911 turbo with whale tail

Harbor Freight has a cheepo knock off one man brake bleeder that hooks up to your compressor for $33ish and works well.

Under the tarp???? Z3 but the headlight bulges say no. But........I my guess is an air cooled 911 without a tail under a cover that was for a 911 WITH a tail.

I’m betting it’s a metallic green 77 911 with a duck. You know, like the one he says he owns in the second sentence of this thread.

I got this one, mostly because I had Walmart gift cards

Winner! Although the duct tail is currently hung up on the wall, along with a Carrera 3.0 tail



Got headers and cats from topgearuk.com. Decent quality and good prices. Sounds good at idle and driveway revving



Installed - I want to re-do the piping from the mufflers to the cats and then the mufflers to a center exit










Started stripping the interior, may not look like much but this was a ton of work











These are the SPC adjustable control arms I mentioned before

Regarding parts, I look on the forums and read reviews and a lot of time what falls into my lap, I go with. There are only a few parts I sought out and paid full retail price for, most I wait to find a good deal.

More coming on the interior later.

Holes in the front bumper filled with Fusor and skimmed over with SEM bumper bite.





Quarter prepped with Dyna-glass



Changed the oil with Vavoline ZR1 - Racing oil so you know it's good. It's normally $9/quart, but it was on clearance at Autozone for $1/quart. Takes 9.5 quarts. No metal or anything concerning in the old oil.



More interior stripping. Stripped both doors down. Rear windows pulled.





Wires prepped and sound deaden tar removed





Sun roof removed


Dash removed


Window seals removed. These were riveted on



19" parts received from BBS for my e88's







Test fit








I dropped all the misc loose parts off at the painter early. Got a few pics from him. I plan to take the shell next weekend

Color is Porsche M9A that came on 2017 Panamera called Crayon and 2018 GT3 called Chalk.


















The updates should get a little more excited moving forward

I'd be very leery of running 20w50 in that car.

I'll keep on an eye it, but i'm in Texas so it'll be okay with regular oil changes.


Few more painted parts. Don't mind the grass




Numeric Racing shifter came in




Cleaned up the tar areas



Backed it out of the driveway and turned it around. That was fun.











And loaded it up on a uhaul to take to paint

reason for the concern is that 20w is too thick for the variocam to operate properly. Also some potential bore scoring concern.

I think there are better options.
