Garage
Wrapped up a quick service on a family member's new to them Volvo C30 this morning, then started on my 986. I removed my hardtop for the summer, checked all my fluids, ran a quick check with the Durametric, cleaned/checked all drain points, cleaned and conditioned every inch of rubber with Gummi Pfledge. Then I replaced the gummy seal on my passenger side headlight with a spare one from my old amber headlights, and conditioned both headlight seals with an ample amount of Gummi Pfledge. The seals looked and felt like new after being cleaned and conditioned, I may start doing this more often to try and avoid them going bad.

Then I installed a mid-strut bar I picked up almost 2 years ago, and had almost forgotten about. Pretty straight forward installation, which was lucky since I was not able to find any instructions on how to install it anywhere online. I did manage to find a torque setting for the bolts of 24-26 ft/lbs. I got it mounted without any modifications to the surrounding insulation, and tightened the bar up and the bolts down on the helm joints. Tomorrow I'm going to do an oil change, check my suspension, put my summer rims on, and now that I see that picture clean the carpet.
