Celebrating my 1 year anniversary of the engine drop
 

Man, I can't believe it has been 1 year now since my engine drop. Seems like just yesterday but literally it was one year ago today on the calendar that the blessed event occurred. :)

Every now and again I take a look through the pictures of the drop (and subsequent rebuild) and am still amazed it not only came out and apart but that it all went back together again :lol:

For those of you considering going in yourself dive in and don't look back! For those of you who have already been there you know what I'm talking about :wink:

What no gratuitous before and after shots of the engine rebuild :? ?
Please post some pictures of that beautiful 3.0L Doug .
I think that is the greatest sense of accomplishment that can come with Porsche ownership, taking the whole engine apart and rebuilding it. Props Doug 8) ! I can't wait to drop my engine out and tear it apart :twisted: . Maybe I'll make playing the lotto my new hobby next year :roll: .

Congrats Doug on the anniversary! You know, I think I've been infected by Dorki engine-drop-itis. I've had 3 engine drops in my garage in the last 18 months. I think I need counselling. :?

gee Doug, sounds like you need a project in need of an engine rebuild :lol: the reason i got a 914 is because i had so much "fun" rebuilding the typeIV in a vw vanagon and i wanted to do it again.... (and again... and again......)

Thanks fellas.

Pari - all the pics are still up in the Engine Drop Gallery under my name.

As far as projects go this winter, I think I'm gonna take the season off :wink:

A YEAR????? AND IT'S STILL RUNNING??????

Nice work Doug. There will be plenty of projects around that you can go play with if the urge strikes. I spent last night over at Paul's place helping him with his 951 rebuild. Nice car, nice guy, and definite Dorki material.

Having seen his project, I think I'm up for some surgery on the pumper this winter. Just a few 'home' projects to clear first :roll:
