Cornpanzer saves the day

Dave came through in a big way for me on Friday after a mechanical problem on the way to Treffen

Here is the thread on Pelican: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...a-rosa-ca.html

Hey Tom, glad I could help out. Nothing better to do since I couldn't make Treffen ;-)

You guys are rock-stars to be able to R & R that engine in two hours!

If the Mid-West makes it out next year I'm buying the beer...

I'd have pulled the motor and gear box out as a unit, as that is what I've usually done. It was Dave the shop owner that suggested I remove only the engine. With the early push style clutch is was so easy, you don't touch the throw out bearing. We just un did the engine mounts, lowered it down, and got the top trans bolts. Not having to fiddle with the axles etc. was huge. Piece of cake really. Everything is new so we didn't even get very dirty.

Thanks so much Dave! If not for your help I would have not been able to see Tom's car - one of my favorite cars there this weekend! Tom thanks for letting me sit in it as I needed to do some research on my next project. Sorry our conversation got cut short - next time!

Cool story!! Only real men can do what you guys did.

Hey Tom,

Glad I could help you guys get back on the road to Monterey!!! I love seeing enthusiasts actually driving their cars as the good Doktor intended!!! :-)

Yeah, Dave Merz should be on the title of this thread. Credit where credit is due! I was just sitting behind my computer drinking a beer. =)
