Picked up new OEM rr rotors, 4 OEM wheel bearings, some clutch bolts and dropped off the front two bearings and they're respective carriers at a 'European' shop. I hate doing this mechanical stuff myself but then when I hand something to a pro I hate giving them money! (and miss that good feeling I get from doing something myself) Now I wish I had bought that used OEM bearing replacement kit I saw on craigslist about 1 month ago!!! I can't win. AND, we're on about the 8 th sunny day in a row and I have't driven my Baby since OCT or Nov!!!! but i'm handling it all very well- did I mention today's FRIDAY and I'm the only one with a convertible/or PORSCHE, that' s NOT driving it!:dance:
But when it's done it'll be done right and to the best of my ability, as always...

Garage
Washed her, gave her a clay bar treatment, then a coat of carnauba wax. Red-dyed the left bolster of the driver's seat. Everything came out great!

Drive time later this afternoon. 76F and sunny. Great top down weather.
