only minor housekeeping repairs needed……

Actually to anyone with experience in restoration or a high performance build, the process of sorting is a time consuming and expensive task and the claim will not be taken lightly.

I did two major builds and the sorting process was the most arduous of tasks in the completion of the builds.

Examples:

There are many minor tasks required to properly install a modern motor such as a 3.2 into a long hood including but not limited to fuel system upgrade and electrical harness replacement. While these are not required they would be completed in a fully sorted install.

Another would be the proper tuning of a rebuilt MFI engine. Again, this is a task that takes the painstaking adjusting of many factors to be properly accomplished. Try removing a flat spot at 5000 RPM on a 2.0L S motor or having a properly operating cold start.

Properly sorted is the difference of thousands of dollars in a purchase price. I purchased a 1983 Porsche SC for $19,000. I spent another $12,000 resorting the car this included rebuilding AC.


Do not get me started on a properly operating windshield washing/wiping systems...........
