I hear what you are saying... At this point she has been sitting in my garage for almost 2 years now while I saved up my pennies to get this build done and I have truck now that I use as my daily driver so to me I would rather have her done right than done fast. That being said they have the special order pistons in and everything else is pretty much ready to go. Just waiting on the Kelford cams which should be there very soon. They were quoted 6 weeks to get those in and we are just about there. I am also sending the blower to 928 to get it re-built with all new bearings and a 928 impeller once the car gets there so that will be about a week return time.
I don't think it will take 3 months since the block has been machined and all parts are pretty much there minus the cams so once the car gets there it should go smoothly. I am getting a full longblock so all that is already at their shop. They should be able to get quite a bit done while waiting for the blower to return from 928.

Yeah, tell me about it... And the thing is she is just dropped on springs and not slammed on coils or anything crazy. I don't have her all tucked and a crazy low rider thing goin on but she was just about an inch to low to get on that carrier. Live and learn I guess...

Just to give you some more peace of mind about Dynosty, I had my Z there today getting some bushings installed. Eddy and Hal did all the work. When I got the car back I did my usual walk around and was expecting some fingerprints on the doors, fenders and or windows, but there was nothing. They didn't even move my seat....

So the enclosed trailer came by today and picker her up, she is on her way to her vacation / spa treatment to Dynosty!
She made it up on this trailer much easier and more smoothly than that last fiasco! AND... It was not raining today! (lol)
Mixture of happy / apprehensive feelings seeing her go... Excited to get her back and finally drive her again tho, been saving up for nearly 2 years to be able to get this build done.
Couple of pics of her being loaded up:
All lined up ready to go in
Looks like she's going to clear!
Yup she cleared and is almost in
Much easier than the last transport!
That's an M5 in front of her and a Jag above... She is in pretty good company, although I can't stand bimmers! Ugh... pieces of electronical nightmares!
Lump in the throat time, she is almost in!
Getting her all secured... Take car of my girl!!
As snug as a bug in a rug!! Next time I see you, you will be all fixed up and better than ever!
She should be there on Thursday... Have a safe trip!

Thanks! Hoping to get some pics of the build in progress so I can post them up. Talked to Dustin today and he told me they would be snapping some for me soon.

Agape was the Co that set up the transport. They quote you a price and farm out the actual transportation to another party. The company that actually is doing the shipping is Ace American Transportation LLC... They did a good job loading her up, I'll see on Thurs if she shows up in good condition. If she does I can give you their contact information but I don't want to recommend them quite yet until the delivery has been made. It is an enclosed carrier so it's not as 'cheap' as you could get it done on an open carrier however.

Thanks Tim!... She will be in good hands out there I am sure. Once she gets there and they get the SC bracket off I will have the blower shipped to 928 for the impeller upgrade and a full rebuild of the bearings / seals as well.

No, I don't think this one had a winch... The first one, the open carrier did but my car would not fit due to the rails on it. If your car is not to low then it may fit on one of those...

They are becoming more rare now as the Twilight Blue was produced for only one model year in 2004. I am partial to the color as well.
