    Talking Alignment done...

    Well, I got the alignment done last week. I had it done at Mirage Int'l in San Diego based on recommendations from here.. When I arrived at the shop, the bays were full of 911 race cars of various vintage and tune. What a cool shop! Gumby got the royal treatment and I must say that she drive's quite nice and smooth on the freeway. I haven't had a chance to get her out in the twisties yet but I have little doubt that her capabilities will let me down.
    Remember, this is a 67 912 with a 2.0 914 Type 4 in it. The new suspension is the full deal, 73 911 front with polybronze bushings, monoball strut bushings, upgraded brakes, turbo tie rods, and new Bilsteins. Rear got monoballs for trailing arm, poly bronze bushings for spring plate, and original 67 911S vented rotors and calipers.

    Below are the specs and contact info for Mirage.
