"What a wonderful time we had, every day brought something different! My favorite was feeding the wolves!"
Upon my discharge from the Army I used the separation money to purchase a 1961 356 notchback. It was 1969 and I was in love with the form of the 356. It was white when I bought it. More on that later. I drove it as a commuter to college and University for many years. My fiancé turned the main bearing on the day of our engagement party in 1970. I still married her. I learned a lot about VW and Porsche engines, just to keep her VW and my Porsche going. After appropriate machining, I repaired the engine and drove it for another 2,000 miles until the oil light lit up. I discovered that the oil pump tang had worn and the groove that drove it on the cam shaft had worn as well. The total loss of metal allowed the oil pump to sit idle while the cam shaft turned. NOT GOOD!
I was living in Davis Ca. during the main bearing failure. Joe, a friend from high school and a fellow car club member, shared an old house across from the police station. The house had a basement. Cool in the summer, a perfect place to tear down the engine and find the culprit. No idea what I was doing.
Being a dental student at UCSF, I used my new lab skills to take an impression of the cam shaft and the oil pump drive. I waxed up a part to loosely allow the two parts to match and cast it in brass. It worked until 1978 when the crank broke. I stored the engine, bought a crank but then found a replacement engine (59 S90) wich kept the notchback on the road for another couple of years. I retired the car in 1980 as I started a business and a family and lost interest in the old ride. Parked in a barn, then a hangar then along side the house, always covered. I should be taken out and whipped as the old notchback deteriorated even though it was pretty dry here in California's central valley. I got into aviation and built an RV-4 and also restored a 1930 2 door Model A sedan and a K1200gt cycle so I had kept my wrenching active over the years. I had to move the porsche from the side yard to install solar panels on the roof of our home in 2013. Once I got the car out in the open, the neighbors gathered around and marveled at the old notchback. I fell in love with her all over again and started the process of a restoration project. It was repainted in 1975, by me, in my garage, over the white. I loved the new Porsche fjord blue but it did not hold up during storage. I considered a mechanical restoration as first phase, if the floor boards and body panels were good and little undercarriage repair would be necessary. Then a systematic restoration of sheetmetal and paint by others. I have been following the registry forums for several years and find it an invaluable resource. I began an inventory of parts that will need to be replaced and trim that was removed years ago. I assembled every part to complete the project but some needed work or replacements. In it for the long haul I sent it out to be sandblased. You know the tires held air for the entire 37 years it was stored.
This gallery was made with just some CSS simply tricks. There are three classes for large, medium and small images. Each class uses different effect settings for rotation and box-shadow, both in regular and hover state. The z-index value moves the image up on hover. A specific design was applied for smaller devices so it looks always nice. Hit the Preview button in the toolbar to see the effects in action and enjoy these amazing shots by Airwolfhound.
