Is there an engine in the car? I'd wait till the front is settled down. I'd pay close attention to how thing are when the wheel is turned to full lock and suspension is compressed. You can drive on to a curb with one wheel to approximate this.
May be very basic advice sorry if it is.

Did you just say your Porsche is worth 20,000? I'm constantly looking at cars and edging closer to a Porsche in the next 5 years and I'm surprised to hear that quote. I would have thought two to three times that value.
Not talking about what it's "worth" to you. I fully understand value is sometimes a non-monetary thing and I'm not trying to sound pejorative.

Spotted at local trail head. Fun bike carrying beater.

Well it's in a final state now and has been ripping trails without a hiccup.
Anyway, the fork was too long and the handling was terrible. All the forks I could find in the 400 mm range (this one is 460 mm) would have increased the cost of the bike by about 30%. This one was very cheap. to solve the issue, I cut about a 3/4 of an inch of head tube off the bottom. No idea why it was incorporated into the original frame to begin with, but the bike handles beautifully now.

Isn't this the reason people rotate their tachs?

At the time when I was building mine up I searched high and low for a fork like yours. Wasn't able to locate one anywhere.

Here's mine!
Sadly I discovered a rather large crack in it a couple days ago, so it's got to be replaced with something newer.
Folks, have an old house built 1900 with original pine flooring. When we moved in we had the floors sanded bare and finished. The floor guy advised we replace the kitchen but we were not up for the cost because we plan on moving in 5 years and it's original, beautiful heart pine. It's actually gorgeous. In a few places in the kitchen it's splintering up between the boards, which is problematic for us. Next owners can deal with it.
We want a temporary fix. It's only between 5 board. I imagine a filler of some type. I know from lots of reading that's filler isn't advised.
Any thoughts?
