when i tore down my 944s in my rental house, it was a nice tile floor... when they hauled off the chassis to the iron scrap yard, that floor was a mess.
just threw on a bag of litter grit... left it for half an hour, then brushed off the floor.
I didn't even bother to mop the floor with cleaning chemicals, it was that clean. oil puddles, radiator fluids, brake fluids, it was all gone.
didn't even get my hands dirty...

Mornin boys.

I have a big grin on my face. My 911 is back on its tires. The front suspension project is ready for a test drive. All I have to do is get the battery hooked up and go. Our PCA region has a scheduled autocross for this weekend. It will be a COLD mother but I plan on testing the rebuild.
