I bought this car, 2 ,yrs. ago, and intended  a total restroration on it,,I had all belts, front seals, water pump, and clutch, attended to. tensioners, cam cover, and all the details,,,were attended to.

I put white face gauges, blue LED lights, and Polk audio..marine speakers..installed, a used top...( not pretty, but doesn't leak )....I then decided to paint some custom stripes....Irisblau, with amethyst pearl borders At the time of the stripes...the hood, rear cover, and quarter tops, were refinished.a B&B stainless exhaust was installed, and the brake shoes, and rotors were replaced, and turned..   the entire clutch, and brake system was bled...,the top surfaces were painted, the door handle gaskets, and both grills were replaced,.A set of LLoyds mats, aluminium pedals etc... I put a R 134 compressor, and seals on the car, and went no further...I had a career ending injury, and this wonderful project, came to a halt, 13 mo's ago.....and now we are here...

 

And now the bad...she has a few small dings,and a slight ding, at the top rear of the left door, , the 2 stage clutch, is stout to push...perhaps a bit much for the car...and I burned through the clear in a couple spots...trying to buff the ./..scuffed sides....I am very good at ,custom paint, as the picture shows...the Pres, of PCNA, said at Daytona, last year ...that the stripes, were the most stunning, he had  seen....,for what that is worth...,I have all the pieces to finish her....Aircraft aluminium camber plates, new clips, and gaskets, for the side skirts,..a new drier for the AC conversion, Oil filters, new motor mounts, and a box of little goodies...nuts, bolts, mounts...etc...for an owner who wants to keep her...as a final note...I will answer all questions, quickly, and courteously...remember...she is not perfect, the interior is good....IE, no dash cracks etc..but she is not done....Mechanically, solid as hell...SHE needs finished,,,don't buy her if you want a concourse car...buy her, if you want a damb dependable Porsche...Please remember..a few hours of paint, work, on each side, and a top, is all I would say this car needs.cosmetically, and the drier, and charge, on the ac.

One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida several monthes ago, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out today...hopefully I can get it squared..One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out toda

Gathered all the spare's and goodies today...lots of new stuff, and some used goodies also....will place all in the trunk....found the stripe paint, also, Ill send it along to the buyer...If wanted I found all the original speakers in the store room...I would bet, any one who hears the quality of the polks...will leave them in...but Ill send them anyway.

I also have a fair amount of service history receipts, and will place them, with the owners manual, for your records..Timing belts, rollers, tensioners, water pump, etc, etc....I can be reached at 321/261/9631....

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
