Well gents, its time. My 911 has been sitting for almost 5 years now. Was in the middle of doing a 3.6 conversion and was laid off, forcing us to put the car together "just well enough" to get it driveable and get it out of the warehouse my boss had been letting me use.
This is what it looked like then:
A couple of Jag's, couple of BMW bikes and one 911. One XJ went in my home garage, one was sold and the 911 went to my flight attendents house. Imagine owning a 3 car garage and not using it? Nope, me neither, so I "borrowed" one slot there. Thanks Trish!
Here was its next resting spot:
I would start the engine from time to time but 4-5 years is not doing it any good. As well the battery finally gave up. Bought a new one and it finally started fine but you could tell it was going to be needing some TLC. Well, where it was going it would get a lot of that!
Enter OddJob from our area and his flatbed trailer. He very nicely offered to help me get the car to a repair shop so I can resume driving the damm car and not just looking at it.
Finally on the trailer and secured:
Making sure its tight.
Here is its new home for the next week or so:
Talked with Jim and worked out a plan. Will have more details sometime this week. Patrick Motorsports is the one who did the excellent job of backdating this 1985 car and if I had not run out of money in 2005 he would have continued working on then. Lets see how far I can get this time!
Thanks OJJ!
