Update for me. I had my second (left) hip replaced at the end of December after another visit with my orthopedic surgeon in November. He did Xrays on that and my right knee. He said they were both ...

My Endurance race team was called Fifty Plus Racing back in the 1990s because all the drivers were over fifty years old. My business is called Fifty Plus Cars LLC because I only work on the older Por ...

Ahh...If only Dan were here.
I have a large poster of the D Prod 924 at the Road Atlanta Runoffs when Doc Bundy won. There are very wide add-on flares on both the front and rear. You can see that t ...

Vapor honing (vapor blasting) cleans up the aluminum and makes it look like it just came out of the foundry. DO NOT glass bead it.

As far as fronts go, I just pulled these parts off my '82 924 turbo (a tree fell on the car). What I kept are the front spindles, calipers backing plates and hubs. You are welcome to them if you dec ...

There is a ground cable from one of the bottom bolts that connects the tranny to the engine to a bolt that fastens the rear of the drivers side A arm to the chassis.

In the 50 years I've been rebuilding Porsche engines, I continue to be amazed at some of the abuse they suffer by poor mechanics and actually start up and run the first time. Some of them continue to ...

I was trying to think of something snarky but you are on the right track.
Enjoy the journey.
