This car was recently acquired by our customer. Minor oil and coolant leaks were found. As we got deeper into it, there were surprises. Not sweet surprises, like realizing you’re in love with your childhood best friend.
An enterprising creature made a home on this otherwise pristine Macan. Easy enough to clean, disinfect and repair, fortunately. The squatter has since fled the premises and did not get to out-of-the-way wires during their construction
This old girl has not been run for years. Adam put the engine in a few months back, but has not had a chance to deal with the ignition until this week. We’re expecting some problems.
Interesting stuff if you’re into this kind of thing. It’s not that uncommon to find that someone has tinkered with an air-cooled engine without being aware of some unusual and subtle requirements. That being the case, you never know what you’re going to find when you go in for a simple valve adjustment, as in this instance.
Adam (pictured above) rebuilt this engine 500 miles ago, and now it’s back for a valve adjustment.
Just in for scheduled maintenance, there’s nothing wrong with this car, in any way, shape or form. New Pirellis will be installed before she leaves our shop.
I love this Anthracite Brown. Not to be a hater, but Porsche’s Cognac Brown is a bit much, like blackstrap molasses when you could have used Vermont maple syrup.
I’ve seen hundreds, perhaps thousands of air-cooled 911s, and few of them have been as sweet as this one.
This is no survivor, it’s an immaculately maintained specimen. All original interior, paint and clear.
Porsche billed this car as a two-seater, but it’s more of a 1+1. The passenger seat is barely a real seat.
Production of this flat-6 version was limited to somewhere between 2800 to 3500; there are differing versions according to available Porsche numbers and unofficial sources. Either way, there aren’t many of them now, anywhere.
It takes about three hours to replace the engine air filter element for a Panamera. The front bumper has to be removed – seriously.
This Panamera with a 3.6 Liter V6 engine has an oil pressure warning. The first step in wading into these waters is looking at the quantity and quality of engine oil, and to cut open the oil filter to see what may be found.
