Hi All,
A couple of months ago I purchased a 968 from another Registry member (thanks Chris) and since I bought it and drove it home to Melbourne from Adelaide it has been sitting at my a mechanics workshops waiting for parts (parts supply is not as good as early 911s) for its roadworthy.
Well, today was a good day as it is now registered in Victoria and, as a result of the work done, drives beautifully,
Since I purchased the car I've made a number of "improvements" that I will try to list below (the memory is not that good).
1. New Bridgstone S001 tyres
2. New Bluetooth radio with DAB+
3. New inner door seals
4. New outer door seals
5. New kick plates
6. New clock (original hands were faded and the glass was cracked)
7. New hatch seal
8. New front seat adjustment switches
9. New radiator (old one was leaking)
10. New radiator hoses (old ones were past their best)
11. 4 new Koni Sport shocks, bumps stops and covers
12. 2 new engines mounts (old ones had collapsed and were leaking oil)
13. New clutch master cylinder (clutch pedal kept getting stuck fully depressed)
14. New door stays (old ones were stuffed)
15. New dash lights
16. New belts for the steering pump
17. New K&N air filter
18. RS Barn chip
19. I bought a new exhaust but it didn't fit (bugger)
20. A visit from Mr Tap Tap to remove all of the small dings
21. New door handle seals
22. New hatch lock rubbers
23. Alignment from the one and only Mr Carl Jones
Anyway, I think that is it but I'm sure I've forgotten something.
Still want to make a few more improvements but they can wait.
I'll try and get some pics of the car of the weekend.
Cheers,
Harry.
