    So so true.

    Still I am optimistic and I am 100% sure no matter what happens the car will get what it needs.

    It a bit like waiting for Christmas.

    Worked on the Porsche brakes today

      One year later and some but not all the work has been done

      All engine and gearbox mountings replace with OEM parts. Gearbox mountings fell to bits the rubber split in two. The old engine mountings were 10mm lower than the new OEM replacements. good job I decided to do all the mounting

      Timing belt, crank gear cog, water pump, thermostat, one water hose, hydraulic return line and flywheel sensor bracket replace.

      Busy fitting new exhaust manifold, all new copper nuts, Mint condition RS2 turbo, Bosch 440cc injectors, R8 ignition coils and upgraded Motronic ECU. Fitting the exhaust manifold is a pig of a job

        Well done........I definitely admire your patience and persistance. I'm sure it's going to be well worth the effort, sweat, adult language, skinless hands......

                    Fitted the new calipers and discs the weekend.

                    Still need to bleed them.

                    Getting close now.
