My Second Fiat - The Runner

[Snoopy]

I look same pictures of the Porsche and it is really a lot of work.
(Iam near to the place where Porsche are produced.)

My aunt used to work for the Porsche factory several years ago and my Mother and my Opa used to transfer them on the Autobahn. Wish I could get a job like that.

Germany is beautiful. Work related travel took me one time to Munich. I sneaked out one day from that week and took the train to Stuttgart to visit the Porsche Museum (the old one, not the new one). Wish I can do it again, but first I want to go to Italy.

A few photos from that trip to Munich:







The only proof that I was there:

Stay away from the computer and go do some work in the car.

Well, let the work begin. First, a quick wash.



I need a nice license plate frame... and one of those classic leather suitcase . Later, later, focus Jaime!

I sure do admire your ambition. You have done more in two months on your car(s) than I have on mine in two years. Keep up the good work and the informational posts.


P.S. I'll take that Ansa system off your hands when you get Mark's setup.

The new museum is ready. But i only pass it there sometimes but i will visit it soon.
Nice car, spiders in germany are much more expensive...

I have friends over and the wife is giving me that look.... you know the one "what the h@#$%@#% are you doing on the computer or garage..."

Got to go!

Nice find! I can always count on you for my daily FS.com fix. Keep up the great work and try not to piss the wife off.

Let us take a look, shall we?



All new (well, recently done) brakes, lines, even the e-brake lines were changed. Front a-arms as well... I sprayed WD-40 in all bolts as I looked around.





OK I get it now... this is how the transmission should look









Back to the garage... more updates later.

May she never find this thread!

[wachuko]

Well... I take the oil pan out and what do I find??



This:



This engine block is toast? or can that be welded? ...





In the process now of removing the engine to install the one from the parts car... man I need a beer, or three...

Nice looking car, Wachuko. Looks like getting the rust bucket first was a good idea!
