I was surprised too Jeff. Time has the tendency to erase some memories. Like what is stored in one's closets, pantry, garage, and storage building.
Dave came over to lend a hand, or foot if you will, and while he was here I thought I would look for other Porsche related material. Some of the boxes are heavy and Dave helped me transport them to a flat location for viewing. It's amazing what we found. His photos display some of it. One more important box is hiding somewhere.
Now with the early Magnesium 911 case that I got on ebay last week, and with the boxes of parts, I almost have a complete 911 engine for the Type 34 Spyder. That is two car projects away. First the Carrera, then the white 911, then the Spyder and the Corvair Pickup Truck. Gosh, all air-cooled vehicles, I guess you had better like 'em to enjoy the punishment.
Thanks Dave for helping to bleed the Carrera brakes and helping with all those boxes. I can't believe that I had an extra set of "S" alloy calipers, good thing cause we needed that extra bleeder fitting that was badly stuck on one of the Carrera's calipers.
After draining the old gas from the gas tank, and cleaning the fuel pump and filter assembly, the motor is ready to be put back in. But first just a few details for the motor like new gaskets, cleaning off, new plugs, and re-installation and timing of the repaired MFI pump, by Friday I hope. I still have a lot of other non-car related work on the plate that slows down the progress on the Carrera. I will post photos of the progress until it drives. Then we can post videos...
