Thumbs up Fixed three things on my Porsche today- felt good!!!

Small things yes... BUT I fixed:

My drivers side door handle ( I posted a few weeks ago how it was opening from the inside but not from the outside) I pulled the door panel off and airbag out of the door and there was a cheap little female part that came apart from the door handle. Once I had the panel off, it was a 2 minute fix. Happy not to have to roll my window down with my key and open the door from the inside now - EMBARRASSING!

My washer fluid pump! I found a lot of charts but NONE of them indicated that the pump was in the actual washer fluid reservoir. It was a slight pain in the ass having to rip that thing out and get the new pump in it, but NOW I can wash my windshield- Imagine that...

Lastly I replaced the corner plastics in my headlights. They were both cracked and just looked very unattractive, so I ordered a pair from eBay (80 bucks later- yikes)

That said- Im happy with the progress I made on the car today- these things have been bugging me!

I did all of this on top of building a 7x10.5' Rubber maid shed in the back yard... !

Time for a DRINK!
