Well it's good to know that 924s can be driven. I almost have mine running I need to replace a few more coolant hoses and get the broken bolt removed from the thermasat housing.

I was looking at this post ..cant believe its still up
must say this was a fun project. Iframed extior walls by
myself making the box beams box beams, shooting track
along one whole side including corners on the third floor.
then I hadto make all the window openings on the fifth floor
thenI built quite a bit of the inside exterior walls forming the
huge atrium in the center of the building.

Then
I was just a non-union drywaller / framer

The future only gets better.

The shitty weather is closen in.. my town / area is known for

I thought for a moment there, Joe, that you were talking about modifications to your 924!

Odd, I could not find your 924 in any of those pictures. I guess you painted the car with camo paint.

Just kidding, Joe. Looks like a fun job.
