Looks like it's just sitting in there. Maybe someone just tossed one in there before pulling that thing out into the field.

I think the one out at my place has a V8.

Could be.
I think it actually broke there. It is next to an abandoned lodge in the forest near Albany, WY. For being accessible to the public for that long, it is rather good shape.

One of my buddy wanted to buy a Porsche 911 GT3. I told him that Any 911 requires him to take bumper and rear light out to even change a simple AIR FILTER! He thought Porsche includes maintenance. Nope! Just their 1st checkup is.
I did a 911 turbo oil change before, and it was NOT fun at all.
If someone like free maintenance, buy Hyundai 3/36, BMW 3/36, Toyota 2/24.

He will be joining rennlistDOTcom fairly soon.

You don't have to remove the bumper and rear light to replace air filters on the 997. You do have to unplug one of the sensors and pull 8 T-25 screws to get the cover off and then 2 more T-20 screws (1 for each filter) to pull the filters off. Reverse the process after swapping filters. Then there's the pollen filter for the cabin air ...

I should have used the word ALL until I had a chance to work on most of 911s.

Looks like the guys at the shop were just being gentle. Everything fits (except the spare).

These are 17" wheels with 285/70/17 tires. The lift is maybe 1.5"-2" and OME 929 springs in back. The factory bump stops rusted off the back. We lifted it with a fork lift and the back definitely rubs the bumper and fender liner on full flex, but I think bump stops will help that. At some point in the future, I'm building my own bumpers anyway. I'm taking it for it's first wheeling this weekend and will see how bad it is. I don't think I'll be installing the 1" body lift I got.

Very nice!

Anyone good with OLD trucks that knows what this is?

Looks like what's left of a Ford Model A pickup. The flathead straight 6 was probably dropped in sometime around the 1940-50's.

Got my front end parts in. Got most of the rental tools. Still need a seal installer and pitman arm puller. Maybe a non destructive joint separator since I am not keen on pickle forks.
Wanted to work this starting on Friday but kid made plans so Saturday it is.

Now To figure out is I want to do an all-data or the GM specific FSM 3day subscription.

A arms, steering and front diff seals.
4-8 hours per side should do it.

Open to pointers.

Sounds like you're in for some fun.

Spray everything with PB Blaster now and everyday until you do the work.

One way to remove joints is to take off the nut then hold a BFH on one side and then hit the other side with another BFH.
