The engine and running gear was completely rebuilt or replaced less than 100 miles ago.

. Original 4 cylinder engine with original fuel injection was professionally rebuilt.  Runs cool, smooth, and without oil leaks.  All engine compartment rubber was replaced.  The emergency hand brake was restored to operation.
. Original 5 speed transmission was professionally rebuilt.  All 5 gears were replaced with new gears.  The transmission and its linkage was modified to accept 1974 and later side shift transmissions.  This rebuilt transmission operates easily and smoothly but makes a noticeable wine in 5th gear.  (Probably due to incorrect shims.)
.Body has no observable rust on the bottom side, or in the trunks, or in cockpit.  Some battery cage rust was removed and new metal was professionally welded in place.
.Brakes were completely replaced, including new rotors and calipers.  Improved BMW M-series calipers were installed in the front for better performance.
.The existing suspension system was replaced with new, slightly-stiffer springs and shocks.  The car now corners very nicely.   
.The original equipment mag wheels were checked for true.  Four brand new tires were installed.  Wheels were professionally aligned.
. All windows are pristine.  The front windshield is brand new.
. All cockpit components are in place and operate properly.  A third party radio is for shits and should be replaced.
. Original side mirrors are in place and operate.
. All original emblems are in place.

What's left to restore car?  
. Needs full repainting.
. Rear trunk lid has a hell-hole rust spot in middle.  If desired, an option is to replace all trunk lids and doors with fiberglass items which are sold on line.
. The cockpit needs a full re-upholstery and a new rug. 
. The driver side door has been replaced with a door that has some superficial rust.  This door could be sanded and repainted to look as new.
. An aftermarket front air damn is missing a chunk of plastic near bottom left.  
. The Targa top (fiberglass) looks good from a slight distance but has a couple small abrasions.  Could be repaired and repainted to look as new. The top rattles a bit, but this could be fixed with new rubber mounts.
. The mag wheels are missing their center caps.
. The steering damper should be replaced.  A slight vibration is noticeable at highway speeds around 70 mph.

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.

Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.
