Glad to see your over here, definitely less haters and know it alls. Honestly, it won't be started up for a loooooooong time. I have plenty of time but i don't have the funds to finish it right now. I'm trying to take care of some debt before plunging back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many folks go about things backwards and end up buried in debt. Best of luck buddy. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, had given him my intake manifold to weld the runners to the flange because they were just too close together for my big torch to get to. You're a local?

HowlerMonkey Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was there 1988 to 1989. I was a porsche tech at european car center for a few months but didn't like the fact that hans peter hetzelman required you to torque and paint every single bolt on the cars and you were not allowed any air tools or pliers of any type. This made taking off porsche 928 rear axle nuts run because they required more torque than any 1/2 inch breaker bar could handle so we always wrapped them with a rag and tape to keep the flying broken breaker bar parts from hurting anybody or any car's finish. I ended up buying a 3/4 inch breaker bar that I haven't used since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
