Dang, Joe, looking good! I may be selling my 7&9's for a set of those bad boys!

Thanks for all the good words to everyone. It hasnt been easy so I do appreciate the complements. Im getting toward the end of the reassembly. Tyson Schmidt has been a lifesaver with his infinate wisdom on these cars. Its true! He's a walking porsche guru. He eats, sleeps *****s this stuff. I would say that the car would still be on stands if it wasn't for him, TREmotorsport(Dave B) and a few more people I met along the way.

Anyway, the motor, trans, and rear suspension are in. I lost a couple of nuts and bolts along the way so I think that a TRE visit is in order. I need a good day on the molding and rear grill. I need to spray them black. It seems like I will have a busy week so I don't know how much will be done.

Here a couple of shots. Tyson is installing the rear tortion bars. Polybronze bushing and monoballs are also in. We were not able to put on the left rear wheel as the spindle is not in yet. We had to see what it looked like so the acr is proped up for a picture. After everything is done, i'll go over the car and do the detail work. Tyson says shes too nice to track now.

I owe that kid dinner for at least 10 years. Chaya does have great food! The girls there aren't too bad either!

looks good Joe. Tyson is the man with these cars. Just stay out of his way, he can become very, hmm, shall we say, evil? ha!

Oh and fellas, don't let Joe fool you, he is damn good hand on these cars too. The work he did on Scruffy was top notch and I enjoy it everytime I drive the car.

Great work Joseph!!! The Toad is looking mighty EVIL. Might have to drive down there soon and see it up close and personel.

And Tyson is EVIL We need a few more of him. Somebody have a cloning machine?

James, Please remember to post pictures of Scruffy at regular intervals, we miss that 911 out here on the west coast. :)

mjshira 09-28-2004 05:54 AM

pics on the way, I am sans camera at the moment but once I have a new one I will post some. No major changes to her yet, just driving her! I need to get that damn 964 tail working. I have power to thru the switch and to one side of the plug at the tail but not the other. So we'll have to see how I can progress this weekend.

Thanks James. Hopefully the car will be ready the next time I see you. I might be starting a new project soon that might limit me from finishing the car.



Dan,
Your always welcome in my house. Mi casa es su casa.
