All them pretty horses

Will drag you away....

When the National Geographic Channel was filming this car for their show "Break it Down  Porsche in Pieces

They wanted to see the owner drive away into the sunset.........Fat chance, we where so far behind and there was no time to even align  and corner balance it.  For safety reasons, this was a must.

And even though nobody saw big red burn rubber or doing a zoom zoom dance up and down the 405 Freeway. it was worth the wait.

After getting a big intercooler and installing  a e-boost controller from TurboSmart, the gates opened and all the horses got out, all 436 of them and at 14 lbs of boot they created a lot of torque

Class...desmiss

It was good to hear the bell at the end of this day....

Two new students arrived today, though they are going to be taught the same, being eight years apart makes their needs a bit different. 

The younger one, was built in 1978, and it has been running strong. and though it has been taking classes on line, it has been missing the one on ones with the teacher, It just failed the compression test and scored very low on the leak down test, running on five cylinders is not good enough...... we are going to have to pull an all nighter........

This good old boy, a 1970 S   is new in town, but it has not been to school in 13 years, and even though it looks like one of the cool kids, it's going to need some tutoring: starting with brake and suspension refurbish, gas tank and lines cleaning, compression, and some superficial rust, after that we'll see how it does on the performance test.  Sure, the body should hit the gym to get in pristine condition, maybe even try for the track team, but we must start its education slowly, it needs  time to catch up

So tomorrow we have a big test........let's hit the books...

A brand new day

What a difference a day makes,  yesterday it was pouring rain and now we have blue skies, some days here can compare with that, there are times when everything goes smoothly, but then, sometimes it seems like Murphy's Law was written for us.

A 1989 930 gets bought at a salvage yard, mostly in pieces, then it travels 90 miles to its friend's body shop; once the body goes skinny dipping in red, an attempt to assemble gets under way;      Realizing that so many parts are missing, the friend recommended to see someone with more knowledge of Porsche....... Who you gonna call ???

We had been commissioned to build a Turbo engine for this toy, along with all other vital parts and some upgrades, not too wild, we still need to maintain the original look.  I was not expecting to be the finisher.

It came to us looking like someone was running away from home, boxes and bags full with Porsche and non Porsche parts, it has taken months and a lot of patience, along with the assistance of some of our associates to make it to a decent stand,.....but today is a good day,  Big Red is alive, all the vital signs are good and soon ...Rubber might be burned........
