Still haven’t decided if I want to wrap mine, but learned about the fuse panel today while finally tackling the heated seats

Finished installing a new top AND replaced the expansion tank. I will never again replace the expansion tank. I ran out of all my Sailor words putting that thing in.

Well done. Agree. Coolant expansion tank is the worst! It so bad that you don't even feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards.

If I wouldn't of ruined one qtr panel and had to start over I would of had just enough. I ordered 5ft X 50ft so that's what it takes with no mistakes.

I've got 97" X 60" left on the original roll to do mirrors and probably my whole hardtop. The problem is I'm 3" short to do the front bumper. I'd have to seam it vertically and that would look tacky. If I wouldnt have ruin a big sheet on one of the quarters I'd have enough. Not counting the hardtop.

I finally got my heated seats working!
I had installed some 987 seats in my 986 Boxster and the new seats were heated, but my car never came with the heated seats option. I just put made a series of videos showing you every part needed and every step to take if you want to add the heated seat option to your car using stock switches and even the stock fuse location.
Here is a link to the playlist that has the entire video series. I hope this helps a lot of people that have been trying to do the same!

Yeah, did mine in 2014, I had to start using the Philippine words on top of my sailor words... Even with the right tool it was still a PITA.

I applied a one-step porcelain coating to Mrs. Peel. It's Aero Flight Shield, it's only $29.99 for a small bottle, and a typical consumer can use it if the prep work is properly done.
The paint surface is like a mirror, now. Look at the right rear fender in the photo and focus on the reflection of the trees. It works very well. And Mrs. Peel is impressively shiny now.

Don't forget to cover the license plate of the Ford.

I was feeling the need for more horsepower, so I installed stripes and replaced a window regulator. Took her our for a short drive in the rain after I installed the stripes, couldn't really feel any increase in horsepower. BUT, that new window regulator seems to have really improved the handling!!! ![Smilie](http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

If I were you I'd get a refund on those stripes! Stripes ALWAYS give you more noticeable horsepower! Those are obviously defective!
