Nice job j.fro! :cheers:

Funny while watching your video I noticed the gloves you are wearing, love those gloves, cheap and work great.

Went to Watkins Glen on Saturday. The Porsche Clash club race. Camped out on turn one and had a picnic.

Did you get to take your car on track?

Love it ;)
It really flows with the rest of the interior.

Door Courtesy Lights / DRL's / Ghost Lights / Footwell Lights
 
I've done a few projects over the last few weeks, and finally had a chance to take some pictures...

I added some DRL lights in the front, I fixed the missing door courtesy lights, and added some ghost lights to the doors as well (the Red Sox logo - which will be complemented quite nicely once I get my new etched, LED lighted wind screen), and added some Footwell lights (wireded to the dome light)... The info on this site was extremely helpful for the DRL and Footwell Lights...

Looks great!

Just out of curiosity, how did you end up attaching those ghost lights to the inside of the door since I presume yours is carpeted alsoSome kind of velcro or a clip?

Can you also tell me where you got the DRL's from please? Thanks.

Replied to your PM, but for others wanting to know the Ghost Lights I have attache thru a 1 inch hole I drilled in the bottom of each door and then are wired to the courtesy lights.

Those and the DRL's I purchased off EBay (though I am not 100% happy with the DRL's and may change out after I let them settle in for a bit more)....

Got a little maintenance done on my 98 at 86,400 miles. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1433558232.jpg
Changed the ORIGINAL PIERBURG water pump. Gasket had to be cut. The pump is in fine condition, bearing is good and all the vanes are intact..:dance:
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1433558371.jpg
Installed a new LN low temp thermostat, new hoses and fresh coolant. The old motor mount is hard dry and splitting. It wouldn't have gone much longer.

Unbelievably the most difficult part of the job was getting the ground wire off the fuel filter!! :eek: Parts total $850.00 a new Uview airlift and 6 hrs time and I know a lot more about the car service wise!!

Perfect top down day today. A couple of chores first, installed my new Bosche wiper blades and zip-tied the mesh rollbar inserts...then off for a drive.
