Engine drop, reseal, and refurbish completed!
Thank you Rennlist!
I joined about 10 years ago and its been so much fun to hang out with you guys and share my passion for 964s.
I just completed my 1990 Carrera 2 tip engine drop, repair, and reseal and could not have done it without the tremendous help of the hard core rennlisters who keep contributing.
I finally got the engine back in and went for a shakedown run and the engine response was incredible and so smooth. I bought this car, drove it to get registered and immediately started tearing it down when I got it back in my garage. That was about a year ago. Once I get the car registered again I will be ready to use it as my daily driver.

Great work Ricardo 
Two extra points:
1. You have now earned a new badge to put on that sweatshirt.
2. We now know that you're an Abba fan.
