is there anyone here from washington state? I am a farely recent owner of a 1982 and 1978 924 (parting out the 7, and I would like to find out what local shops are the best for engine rebuilding and other 924 related services. in other words, what local shops have experience with the 924 engines and over all operation?

I live in washington state, but sorry I don't know of any good shops... so I guess my reply is pretty worthless

Hey cmm, I'm in WA but do my own work. What is it you need? there must be a lot of shops in Seattle. I need a drivers side door stop plate and pin. That's the casting that has two holes in it that mounts to the door frame between the hinges. It connects to the strap which prevents the door from openening to far. Just need the plate and the pin. Also the clip that holds the hood support rod to the hood so when you open it the rod doesn't fall down. You got? Can e-mail me rchawes@cablespeed.com

Sounds like fun, if I can get my car running and in good enough shape by then

[Revis Rose]

I live in Bremerton, WA. The problem with any shop that works on Porsches is that they know how much they can get to work on Porsches. So I have tought myself everything I know. Which doesn't say much, because my 924 leaks like a sive, the electrics are mostly shorted out or corroded, and I have moss growing on anything organic inside of it. I work on it between deployments, so it is sitting.

alright, a 924 run it is, hey if anyone wants to call me to talk about the 924 my number is 206-387-7504. my name is doug. as you probably know i am parting out a 1978 924, but even if you just want to talk about this porsche of all porsches, its cool. lets share are knowledge on the car sence there are no well known mechanics in the area that can be trusted with the car.

oh man, and i got that mechanism for your door, its yours for 5 bucks.

[Joes924]

Allright.. Lets plan the run.

We have discussed a get together in the past, and state or national borders should not matter. Some guys from B.C. wanted to have a get together, I would like to feel welcome there too.

yeah i agree, the longer the train the better so is everyone game to do this on some weekend in august?

[Cbass]

I'm thinking of starting a watercooled club... Seems most of the regulars here are in the pacific NW. Anyone interested in joining? We could probably scam discounts from shops.

I am opening my own shop soon, and I'll be fabricating exhaust and intake stuff mainly, with plans for an ECU project... club members can get discounts
