Help resurrecting the German Lee (944) & FOR SALE
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 12:47 pm
Hey all,
Ive been out of it for awhile and am looking for a little help. Here is the story....
I had a race team a few years ago. We did 24 hours of Lemons, ChumpCar and some TTs with PCA and POC. Our little beater 944, The German Lee, was a good little car and our team was fun. The team fell apart and so did the car. We blew a head gasket and did a night repair at a Lemon's event. It didnt really run right, the team fell apart and the car sat on my trailer for a year or more.
In Oct i brought the car to my garage and decided to "mostly" rebuild the engine. I wanted to do it right so i pulled it and replaced everything except the block to crank bearings. I added external oil cooler, motor mounts and dropped it back in. I now cant remember how to hook up some of the top end stuff, and my top drop in method proved to screw something up with the clutch and trans to crank. Its locked up and wont roll easily in Neutral.
This weekend im going to pull tranny, TT and bell to fix up binding issues similar to replacing the clutch... But i could use some help with the top end and possible someone who knows how to deal with tension on timing belt.
The twist is, that it is now all for sale. Im going to be downsizing and going full time RVing and no need for it any longer. The car (with all spares), trailer (Carson with tire rack), radios, gas cans, etc.. Turn key solution. As well, all my personal gear is for sale. Tools, race suit, gloves, shoes, helmets, hans, etc.. etc..
Im looking for ppl who are interested guiding, wrenching, buying or anything else in effort of getting it right, and getting it gone. Beer, Pizza, shade, bossing around an idiot, and lot of stuff for sale are all I can offer.
Wanna play?
