I've had PMs and calls, but nobody has been local or stepped up for a PPI. I'm sure the first one I take for a ride will pick up this steal in a heartbeat. Get her before she's gone!

I adjusted the valves this weekend (which I normally do every two years as preventative maintenance) and decided to snap some pics of the exhaust-side head studs.

Here you go:


Not all the pics came out great, but at least you can tell they're all there! The headstuds were all replaced when the previous owner did the rebuild at Factory Werks in 2005 (the time of the 3.2SS conversion).

I also picked up new plugs, cap and rotor, air filter, fuel filter, and a case of Brad Penn. This engine is always well taken care of!

I'm hoping to make it to Irvine Cars & Coffee in a few weeks when my schedule permits, in case anyone interested is in the area.

The closest reputable shops to me for PPI are probably GAS and 911 Design (no affiliation with either, neither has as of yet agreed to do a PPI, blah, blah, blah...).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I forgot I snapped some shots of the rear brakes while I had the wheels off. Just took these snaps, didn't even dust off the calipers. 10 secs and they'd look perfect. Notice the thickness of the pads and the new rotors, brake hoses, and short hard lines (Fall 2010).

I can't believe I'm doing this, but here it goes: $12,000 I considered this car a steal at $15k.

In about a month the car will be moving with me to the west LA area.

Okay, trying to answer some questions from several people on my phone. Won't be at a pc until tonight.

Leather interior, no rust issues, no accidents, clean title in hand, don't have a car fax. Fuchs are not original, theyre better: 16x7 & 16x8. All major work done by PO in 2005. If you look I side the front wheel well you can see that the side markers were removed at some point. I believe the Max Morrits kit uses Mahle cylinders, search Pelican to confirm this. Smog requires some adjustments every other year, costs me about 300 to get it in compliance. It's due in a couple weeks so you won't have to deal with it until August 2014.

Work has been crazy, I'll return a couple phonecalls tomorrow. I could meet to show the car Saturday after 6pm or Sunday after 1pm. If anybody local wants to see the car let me know.
