Picked up my car from the transporter and drove it for the first time in a few years (a buddy was car-sitting for me). I'm looking forward to driving it around the motherland and taking advantage of some open stretches of the autobahn.

S tips 😁
 

These are great quality for $150.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1503435724.jpg

Thanks for the compliment but since that pic I decided that I got a little carried away on all that red leather. Tore it all off and started over ��
Dialed it back a bunch. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1503442099.jpg

I would have to do the parking brake handle/lever.

Hmm...http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1503586070.jpg

Good idea!

Is that red plastic chrome?

No red with gloss polyurethane clear coat. Its actually clear for wood birdhouses. Just playing around but I like that idea.

Cleaned the AC condenser and radiator with dirt/debris

Took her for a spin. It's starting to get chilly at night up here in the south east of Norway, but I still took the top off after this pic was taken.

Recharged the A/C. Luckily, that solved the lack of cold air from the vents. I am very glad that this seems to have done the trick but I won't hold my breath in case I have a slow leak. I'll keep an eye on it for a while...
Next mission: figure out what to use for front parking lights now that I had to disconnect the angel eyes from Fred's awesome projectors. My car won't pass inspection without some sort of front parking lights.

Atl east 134 is cheap
 

I had to buy a 10 pound canister of R22 last year for my home unit.....WOW

Aww...I really liked it before!

Sunday changed the oil, then went for a ride thru Hocking Hills. Weather was perfect.

Painted the discolored plastic in the center inlet

I also painted the red that was showing where the grills had clipped in on the sides. Looks more complete now. I didn't want to cut them out in case I put the grills back some day.

I also made some adjustments to the stereo

Saturday:
Added GT3 front brake deflectors
Gave it a rinse (and so did nature) :)
Refilled the tank
Drove it!

That was the first time in 2 (or 3?) weeks I've had it out. I realized last night that, prior to Saturday, the last time I added gas was April 7! :eek: And in the past year, I've only driven it about 2700 miles. Yeesh.

New Top
 

Upgraded to a new top. The old one leaked a little thought the seam on the plastic window. This new one is German A5 material with a rear glass window.


My only complaint is that it's beautiful out but I have to let it stretch for a few more days...

Updating with a photo.

Guess I'll have to try again later. I'm not having any luck uploading a picture.
