It runs after my rebuild!
 

Wanted to share what i have been doing for the last 6 months....Took it out for several spins and so far so good. Has a heck of an exhaust leak on the ssi....but I'm just happy it runs :) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1280192607.jpg

Good on ya. That is a very nice car you have there. The engine is absolutely sanitary. You have every right to be proud of this accomplishment.

Nice SC !

Thank you!! Still have some glitches to figure out but im very happy :) It was my first engine rebuild....followed Wayne's book...great book!!!

Oop's forgot to say its an 80sc :)

can you go into more detail about your rebuild ? The fact that you used Waynes book for your rebuild would make this a great thread with pics/info.

Good job. Looks Great.

Is it a euro car with US bumpers ?

I looked up the vin and the engine # and I do believe it is a euro. Really dont know much else. Bought it as a project last fall knowing it needed a rebuild. Got it at a good price and it was in good shape...whish i knew more about the car.

Alan,
Lookin good! Congrats on the job well done. I just moved to Topeka Kansas for a job... I used to work on Porsches as a side job, let me know if you ever want some volunteer help! I used to share shop space with family and friends in Ohio, so I have been busy trying to rebuild my workshop out here!

I'm planning on being at the Kansas City region SCCA autocross on sunday. You should come out if you are around. I believe there are a couple 911s registered.

Hello Ryan,

Thank you! I'll try to swing by Topeka sometime soon and let you take a look. I'll PM you here in a couple days as soon as I figure out my schedule....
thanks again!

Nice car! Love the color :) It looks like you could use a few heater hoses! Or you could pull it out, and install a block-off plate, if you don't need the heat. I'm in KC quite a bit, if you need anything.

Hi, Thank you! Ya, haven't messed with the heat yet....summer and all...Dang! There's lots of Kansas Pelicans! Very cool! Thanks again!
