Sorry about your foot.
You’re welcome in regard to the corrosion inhibitor that was on the trans.

I was thinking 2 things when writing my post:
1- Thank God for the corrosion protection.
2- Frank will get credit for it.
You win.
How's the foot George?
In case I didn't share what I know...
About 6 years ago we were racing Watkins Glen. As I often do in-between track sessions I happened across a local CL ad for a 1969 Porsche 911E. It was in Elmira; about 25 minutes from the track. (I'm sure I set a new WG to Elmira record for the 4-Door Rental Car category that day.)
Father and son met me at the street and escorted me to the backyard where said 1969 911E had been parked for 20+ years. Covered with a tarp but unfortunately sitting on a concrete slab for all those years the moisture ravaged the underside. It was the father's car that he had owned for 25 years(?) He actually knew very little about it and had no records. (Back when 911s weren't valuable the most unlikely of stewards ended up with these cars.)
I gave the nice old man a deposit, scurried to a bank down the road in Horseheads, and it was mine 30 minutes later. We picked it up with the transporter Sunday afternoon after the event had ended.
Went straight from there to Stoddard's, picked up all of the sheetmetal, and onto Road America. On the way we dropped the car at Radix Collision, a body shop I use in Oconomowoc, WI whenever we crash cars at Road America and need them fixed quickly for the next event. They spent the next few months disassembling. Jim Bach from Bach Racecraft in Verona, WI picked it up from there. He's the one who did the sheetmetal replacement. I picked it up a couple of years later.
There you have it. That's what I know.
Hi Frank,
Foot's getting better thank you.
Good story. You saved that car from terminal demise.
I have made some headway on my side. Dolly built and car on it. I removed the complete suspension and steering, only the doors remain.
I got to use some tools that spend 99.9% of the time deep in a cart, but without which things get difficult. All bushings removed.
Looking good!!
Hi Jon, Thanks!
And nice place to work
Frank, I'm sorry.
No wait, I am not.
On another note, the 964 is nearing completion. Chasing electronic gremlins.
1989 964 C4 ?
I like these rims.
What color is it ?
'89 Indeed. Color is velvet red (Samtrot). Cool car. Sport seats with lumbar support and heat, no sunroof, thin rear glass, no defrost.
Rims are prototype 964, quite rare.
