Very pretty.

 

around here, the hemlock gets into the engine, the trunk seals, heater box, everything.

 

The spruce, not so much of a problem.

Funny you bring that up. Here its the Southern Yellow Pines. Yellow tree sperm hangs in the air around here for a month or so. It gets everywhere, including in your open engine if you leave the doors open to your shop.

Thanks man. It's the mildly rebuilt engine out of my '71. The previous owner did a mostly stock rebuild on it before the car came to me. Going through his old receipts, it looks like there was some boring/bigger pistons action goin on but no specifics were listed. He passed away, and his kids (not car people) found what they could in terms of records for me, but there wasn't much there. Since its the original motor, I don't plan to hot rod it so pulling the head just wasn't in the plans for this project. This whole thing started with some lower nose rust repair, and suspension rehab. Cleaning up the motor was a weekend side project. 

 

What I'll end up doing is going EFI. I have everything to do it sitting in a box on a shelf. You may have noticed the trigger wheel. Since its a PITA to swap that thing in when the car is put together, I decided to go ahead and mount the trigger wheel. My plan is to get the car running/driving again with the carb, and then convert EFI when I have the time. I'm also in the middle of getting my 17 year old's 944 project on the road. The 944 it getting priority over the 2002, so I'm fitting in the '02 work where I can.

Everyone loves good wood....😉

Except....

Pine needles bro. I have a row of 50 foot Cedars in my back yard. Beautiful and tall and just about nothing grows beneath them. The needles and cones drop 24/7. The needles find their way into every nook and cranny....(mostly of the house and cars that is..) 

One detailer fired me. It took his team too long to get all the little suckers out. 

 

Back on topic. 

That engine pretty......
