Porsche Chat

It was always a happy day when the silver recovery guy would turn up and hand over thousands of dollars in cash

 

Also a rare car, they made 51 of them. Better to drive than a Periscopo. Gerry D had a Tahitian Blue one up here, ex-US car.

Give me a hoy if you need a hand removing / refitting the engine - I'm an X-spurt. (hint, you need a 2-post hoist and some brave pills)

 

Well no, not all old cars are money and time down the drain. But you knew what I meant! Mischievous rascal

 

Looks easy.

 

Bloody hell, why didn't Lambo just drop the whole rear end like the 355 ?

That is a nightmare due to the stupid gearlever .

I use to pull 350 Chev engines out with my dad in minutes with just him and me, these lot need about 6 guys to do it

 

Holden 308s take around 8 hours to remove

 

Vw beetle an hour if that, on my own

 

You just set them on fire don't you ?

What car ?

HQ should be less than an hour

The Chev I pulled out was in an HQ

 

And never put back into the HQ

 

Pulled a 327 out put a 350 in, HQ panelvan

 

Was it Tunad?

 

Of course ...... and washed

 

Because the chassis was designed (by Dallara) for maximum stiffness, at a time when the available technology required lots of tubes to counter twisting loads. They built it like a Le Mans prototype, not for maintenance practicality.

But FFS, Lambo should have designed a detachable gear lever!

 

I'd live to hang a Countach chassis on my wall - pure art.

 

Bill Young, owner of GT Car Parts in Phoenix, AZ has done just that.

 

Greg has as well?

 

Similar, a Stag hangs on the wall

 

Not a goat?

I like the tractor

 

Ski rack on an open top car - hmmm...

 

I used to like tractors, but not any more - I'm an ex tractor fan (one for Wes)

 

For the farm ?

 

For the posers ohh. Porsche owners
