Porsche 68

Marvel mystery oil my friend uses it in his 28 Whippet I blew a head gasket when I pulled the head off not one speck of carbon on the pistons I’ve been using it ever since Also BG 44K is an excellent de carbonizer. John

Paul when I was younger 1980 I worked at a Porsche Mercedes shop I used to buy customer’s Porsche and Mercedes that didn’t want to fix them In the summer it was 911s winter Benzes back then they were just old used cars My first car when I got my license was a 68 912 I’m still on the lookout for a 1976 912E silver with blue interior John Blue one 79 euro 3.0 Carerra Tirbo look French car I bought for $3000 wish I kept it now!

Thank you Paul. First pre war car I drove was a 1927 Whippet model 97 fun car to drive Then I bought a 1925 Dodge Brothers Depot Hack that sat for 30 years fun but crude then I got the 34 coupe a little over a year ago rebuilt it mechanically and it is my favorite everyday driver in the summer I love it ! John

My 34 Dodge coupe has been sitting in the garage since 1967 when I was younger I towed for the town and state police where the car sat o must have passed the house where the car sat a hundred times never knew it was there This was in the early 80s

My friend has believe it or not a rust free thing with a bent broken windshield frame you can pm me John

A friend of mine needs a windshield/frame v w thing pm me wit what you have thanks. John

I live in upstate New York where rust is installed at the dealership I used to drive Dodge trucks get 4 years out of them no matter what I did spray oil underneath wash it they still rusted away they all do Now I have a rust free Volkswagen diesel from Virginia let’s see how long this will last

Also I rebuilt the carburetor it’s fine runs smoothly Like I said in the previous post the fuel pump has 3inches of vacuum at the pump head Old Tech I had a 54 Chevy the pump was on the other way round That’s what got me thinking. John

Ok out in the garage I primed the fuel pump and started the car Hooked the car’s fuel tank an ran the car 1/2 hour Then I thought about it I put everything back together the way the pump came off the engine is the pump upside down shouldn’t the glass bowl be on the bottom?

Years ago I brought a friends 1928 Whippet to a shop to have it safely inspected one of the wise ass mechanics asked what is that old piece of junk I said don’t worry about it you can’t plug your scanner into it so you would not know how to fix it ! John

Buick 35 On the Giha check the actual turn signal switch itself in the steering column. John

Rebuilt fuel pump 1/2 tank of gas blew compressed air through fuel line no blockage just can’t get fuel to the pump Bench tested pump with a fuel source attached works great still nothing from tank Has 3 inches of vacuum at pump with a gauge attached is 3 inches enough? Ready to push outside and set on 🔥. Just kidding john

I do the same to my 34 dodge coupe I tell her good morning and good night and give a pat on the headlight. John

After retiring from working on German cars I met a guy in which I now consider him my best friend turned me on to pre war cars the first time he let me drive his 28 Whippet I was hooked I now have two of my own and the word got around that I work on pre war cars I now have a garage full of projects More relaxing to work on more fun to drive. John

I had a friend whose daughter was about to get her license I told him to buy her a cheap car because she is going to wreck it He did get mad at me for thinking his daughter was a bad driver So they buy her a new Honda 2 weeks later going around a corner down a hill to fast rolled the car John

My 25 woody roof was rotted out when I saved it sanded the body coated with linseed oil and made a half roof now a pickup more useful. John

Thanks ! I love driving my car it’s the best feeling The way it looks feels sounds Yes Ferds are highly overrated I had a guy ask me once what year my Ferd was I just looked at him and shook my head 🫏. John

My 34 dodge coupe has the freewheeling and the automatic clutch which I promptly disconnected after the first time I drove it I’m rebuilding a trans for it From what I’ve read the F/W device was outlawed in a lot of states

Sharp car !

Great looking car hate the wheel and red painted things under hood. John

Early bumper car looks the best !
