Painted my wheels black and put on Porsche decal. I think it looks good on a white car!

Nice! What decal did you use?

Removed the wet sheetrock and insulation from the top and rear end. The plastic rear window did not fare as well as hoped. The wet gypsum also marred several spots on the fenders and one door. Took photos and made an insurance claim. Will start demo of the remainder of the garage ceiling mess tomorrow.

I take it that it's a casualty of last week's weather and subsequent power outages? Sorry that happened to you, and to all the good folks down there.

Yes. More cold than power, as I have a generator. That turned out to be one of four leaks, all in places that should not have leaked. All fixed now. Almost. Thanks! Hoping its not a twice in a lifetime event.

As always, I like your approach to life. Or at least to things mechanical.

Let us know how it works out.

Finished installing my MaxJax lift and broke it in by replacing the right front radiator fan.

I finally broke down and bought the GT3 console delete kit and installed it. I'll miss the 2 storage cubbies I had, but hope my right leg appreciates the extra room!

LOL. My friend made that sticker for me per my request. It really helps the statement to have a lot of supercharged blow by oil coming out of your exhaust.

Thanks, it gives the pantera kinda feel to the car. It does murder the slick Z top lines, but its worth it cause I can sit in traffic all day and not worry about under hood temps... cause what hood. LOL

Your grandkids will thank you for it.

Replaced the roached climate control LCD with the 914rubber kit. Wife and I nailed it first try. Special tools: Brand-new screwdriver, small, to remove circuit board screws. I'm learning to use sharp, clean, correct size screwdrivers when messing with electronics (I'm pretty ham-fisted, but I'm getting better). Brand-new one-inch putty knife to remove trim piece.

Total cost of special tools: $2.

I love the Dollar Tree.

Today I fixed the foam blowing from my interior vents. Once I got inside, I could see that my blend doors were still fully covered with foam, which is why I didn't have any issues with the heat or A/C. But it was deteriorating, which is why I would get pieces blowing out of the vents. So I ripped it all out. That, and getting the tape on relatively straight, were the hardest parts of the job. On my 2003, there is an internal horizontal gusset on the right side of the interior of the duct, about where the bottom of the right hand cut on the duct ends. So when I bent the cut part of the duct down, it broke off horizontally across the 2 vertical cuts. When I was done I used a piece of plastic and 2 screws to secure the cut piece on the bottom.

Thanks to 78F350 for his post on how to do this and TTGator for his YouTube video, both of which were very helpful for me!

Earlier in the week I took off the front bumper cover and cleaned out my ductwork and radiators. My low tone horn was out, so I replaced that too.

And the week before I installed the GT3 center console delete kit.

So I set a goal of 3 projects for myself this winter and I accomplished them all.

[LincolnPeters]

Dropped the cleaned up headlamps at my new best friends at the local body shoppe. Fresh coat was still baking in the oven at five when they shut down for the weekend.

That foam that’s blowing out of the ducts on all these 22 year old cars, WTH? Okay, like you said above, “3 projects for Winter”, lol. That leaves the one... AMAZON NITROUS TANKS for all my friends! Peace, all.

Changed the oil and noticed there was what appeared to be a small leak from the right side axle seal. I didn't feel like ripping out the axle to change the seal, so I just got some Mobil1 75w90 Gear Oil to make sure it doesn't run dry. It took about .2 liters! YIKES! Could someone tell me the capacity is? I'm curious how much was actually in there.

The good news is that the oil and filter came out clean and free of debris. :dance: Last oil change I got a scare with some shavings, but I guess that was a result of the time my (soon-to-be-EX) wife did DE.

I wanna say 2 liters. I bought some Mobile 1 last year, but it never made it in the gearbox cause of the funky safety drain plug this car has. So I just topped mine off.
