Very nice! Subtle, tasteful and accents the wheels nicely :cool:

It's a beautiful day and everyone is out driving...except for me. :D

It's a madhouse out there, so I thought a lazy Sunday spent detailing the 986's interior and cleaning the garage sounded much nicer ;)
That darn wind won't cooperate, though. Why does the wind always blow into the garage?

I can't even detail mine Particlewave... Here it's still snowing and the my garage's door is blocked with ice or something... I have to wait the real Spring... I didn't even saw my Box since 4 months !!!

So be happy to be able to detail it!

Went to pick it up on Saturday morning. The drive home was awesome!! Put the cover on it in my driveway, and proceeded to watch a few inches of snow and ice fall on it overnight :( WTF, this winter won't end!!!!

Washed it
 

Today was the first wash of the season, to get all the dirt off from my last drive in December. It's been too cold to wash it since! Then off for the first drive of the season. I couldn't stop grinning!

Went to get some new lug bolts to replace my security ones. I also needed a plastic clip. Couldn't resist this photo opportunity:D

Well, this was actually on Sunday and it may not look like it in this picture, but it was 60deg so I took the Boxster out of winter storage for a couple hour drive.
I even had the top down for a while. :)

Of course this is Minnesota, so the forecast is for 5-10" of snow the end of this week. :mad:

Hi, that's a cool front nose, what kind is it, brand? have u more pics of it....:)

Hey, thanks! It's OEM Porsche. It is the AeroKit II front bumper with a 996 GT3 lip spoiler. I already had found the AeroKit II side skirts, then I found the bumper with the lip spoiler online from a guy removing all the mods before selling his Boxster. I felt pretty lucky to find it because I have not seen many for sale used.
Here is a better pic of the front bumper from a couple years ago.

Just won (stole) a 3 spoke steering wheel and airbag on eBay for $319.44!!! :cool:

I can't wait to get it dyed black and installed! :D
It's got some light scratches on the airbag, but I can take care of that easy.

Very nice! Love a great deal!

I paid 250
100 for wheel
150 for airbag
good deals come to patient people

Yes, they do ;)
I've been waiting for a good deal on a 3 spoke for almost 2 years! :eek:

Totally agree, waited 18months and eventually got OEM speed humps for £200 sterling

I added a short shifter to my 986 :)

Drove it to the gym and back, then installed my clear side markers. Going in for a water pump this week

painted my calipers bright green and replaced rotors and pads with new shiny stuff ;-)

Back on Friday I took the car out for the first time in over a month. :eek:

Also that same day, it turned over 100,000 miles. Officially old now? :o

While I was replacing a bulb in the rear I decided to remove both lenses in the rear and clean all the crap out of the body and around the lenses and inspect the seals. I feel better that the area is clean now. There was some debris, but mostly dust and caked dirt back there.

Drove my silver 2000S to top of Mt. Diablo with my brother. Blue sky and 70's! But a slowpoke idiot in a Prius right in front if us and no room to pass! Why is it that most Prius (and Volvo) drivers are slowpoke idiots?

Wax it up and drive it down to the shore. No bettter way to spend some time.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1397524043.jpg

I paid it off. :cool:

Finally finished my interior conversion.

I drove it to work... Again.

Eastern shore?

Drained Oil, dropped the pan for a peek-a-boo
Third change for me 1st sump cover drop
Man I was ready for timing chain guild plastic, metal what ever.
My surprise - nothing - ultra clean at 67k miles.
Tonight I'll cut the filter for that inspection and put the cover back on with a new magnetic plug

I do see the need for new Plug tubes in my future.

I didn't remove some of the under car shield that barely overlaps the sump. I will need to do that to install

That's clean markskyline!

And as of today, I removed my door panels and fixed a water leak on both sides that's been pissing me off for a while now.

Washed her
Went for a 20 min top down drive on a nice twisty road
still have a big grin

Then came back and looked at the wheels and said look at all the brake dust and washed it again?!:)

Cleared some (&%$@#ing snow off of it.... then drove it to work, then took it in for the water pump, thermostat, and an oil change. C'mon Buffalo weather... help me out here!!

Installed K-sport coil overs,a GT3 front sway bar, & did an oil change.

I hear you man. Same kinda weather over here in the Cuse :mad:

Just tearing stuff up...as usual :rolleyes:

At this rate, my car is not going to be ready to drive until August :(

Sooooo, what's the plan there?:eek:

All of this just so that I could get out the 3 horizontal trim strips for painting.

I'm not right in the head, Bruce...


Actually, this only took me about an hour. It looks much worse, though.
I also still need to finish dyeing my 3 spoke steering wheel, maybe add a small white stripe to the top of said steering wheel, and paint gauge cluster rings glacier white to match.
And...I am back to amber halogens until I get time to install projectors back into my headlights (sold those seen in my avatar :( ).

I did finish painting my rear bumper cover, though! :D

Yikes! I had thought about those trim strips at one time but I seem to remember reading about the difficulty of removing them. A picture is worth a thousand words:D I have no doubt it will look incredible when you are finished:cheers:

Paid it off!!!!!

I love it when the clear coat turns out perfect on the first try :D

Three coats of clear should be plenty for trim, I think. I can't wait to see it in the daylight.

Congratulations!

Feels good, doesn't it. :D
