Hi!

A big project is started: temporary replace the whole engine. My original one has got a "small" problem, mix the oil with the petrol. Maybe some problem with the valves, this is a come-back bug. So, temporary this solution is cheaper, and more faster, of course. I bought the engine for almost nothing, from a broken 924.
Unfortunately, we must finish it before we are ready, because my friend falls into the inspection pit, in his own garage... Ambulance, hospital, but He is lucky, nothing serious, just contusion.
In the following days, we will continue the job.
Here is a picture from the "new" engine. Made in 1984.

Hi!

SO, the cover's price is 70EUR, and He can post it to even Holland.
Or, when I go there, I can bring a few piece.


Other topic.

Next month, I pack my life to my loved car, and with my girlfriend, and Kázmér(my cat) We go, and try our luck in Holland. In the last years I visit Rotterdam for a few times, I like that area so much. I'm bored here in Hungary, to step from one leg to an other, stepping in one place... The policy is terrible corrupt in this country..
If anybody can help to us, I will be so thankful... We are 28, speaks english, and my girlfriend speaks german, too. For the beginning any type of job is interested, because we need to study the language. I'm work in IT, handle computer networks, creating graphics, websites. My girlfriend is graduated, and experienced in cosmetics. Also we need an extra-cheap flat, for rent. Or a garage, of course...
But really, we work anything, does not matter, how deep we need to start.
So, we said, ROCK 'N' ROLL!
And, of course, is anybody needs a hand to repair a 924, you can count with me.
Thanks a lot

Mal

Hi!

A small question: Do anybody know a garage near Rotterdam, where people can repair his own car? When I move to holland, I bring my tools with myself, and if small repairs needed, I need a place to do it.
Any idea?

I don't know of that, but I am sure there are garages where you can do it yourself..
a 'doe het zelf' garage it is called in Holland.
maybe you can google for that? But you don't have to worry, plenty of place to work your tools!

That's currently under consideration, yes... most cars need at least one job. Finding a suitable location is the main problem for now.

Hello!

My friend needs some help. He rebuild an original engine, but He does not find +1size main bearing set for it. Got any idea, where to search it? We try pelicanparts, http://www.ebsracing.com, and small companies, they run out from stock.
Thanks
