Time to come clean: I'm officially a P-car owner

[ray_]

well..hopefully it was 50 psi on all four?  

 

 

It came up to 90. Valves were really tight.

 

I will be proceeding with Italian tuneups all week.

Took the p-car to a local show held at a high school.  Didn't realize the mini-truckin folks were still at it.

 

Sweet line-up!

the poor little 911 looked lost among the 'mericun hot rod and slammed neon light  crowd!

I think the Porsche "frenzie" is dying down a little (just a little).  This baby could be yours.  It has been at least 24 hours and no one has jumped on it.  Text from advert:

 

'67 Porsche 912 Short Wheel Base Coupe with matching numbers with a dark blue exterior and black interior. Same owner for many years and has been sitting. Complete with the engine and transmission. Great value. Will make a strong parts car or will require an extensive restoration.

 

Mark's edit:

 

"Sitting many years" (on the bottom of a lake or ocean)

"Great Value" (put your crack pipe down)

"Strong parts car" (Seriously?  WTF - what parts)

"Will require an extensive restoration" (no shit sherlock)

 

Good god.  Sign me up.  What a deal!

Mark- that looks like it has been sitting in the water. Literally nothing left to start with.....

Didn't mean to hijack this thread, should have started a new one, I figured since it is OT and about Porsche's what the heck.  That said, amazing the sh%t people try to sell.  I can't imagine there is much useable in that pile of scrap.  912's are cool, but come on, not like it is an early ('65 or '66 911 or 911s.....even then I don't know that car would be save-able).

Looks like it might have a couple of pieces of salvageable glass in it. However, new glass isn't $7,000

LOL - now who's got the big bumpers...

[Kidasters]

Both are really pretty cars.  

[gregpark]

Very nice, they compliment each other

Complement.

 

You're welcome.

Scope creep.

 

It started with fixing some squeaking brake pads.

 

That led to ordering some re-built calipers when the pistons wouldn't push back into the caliper.

 

And might as well buy the stainless brake lines.

 

And, wow, those CV boots look bad, don't they?  So now I'm looking at this:

 

 

So - careful Gerock, it's a slippery slope.
