Xmas break projects, what did you do?
I was fortunate to have a long winter break so I did quite a bit of maintenance on the cars:
-new pads & rotors, fluid flush on my daily driver On the Carrera: -new brake hoses front and rear, added speed bleeders -brake flush -pedal cluster rebuild -new clutch spring -adjust clutch -detail wheel wells and clean wheels (while I had all wheels off) -wash car I didn't get around to replacing the shift coupler. Oh ya, and I did get quite a few hours out in the canyons...., ![]() |

Let's see... a new (rebuilt) alternator installation, chain tensioner update, fuel injection investigation, and investigating my centrifugal advance. Christmas was good to me this year.

Well, I...
Applied 20" of blown-in insulation in my under-insulated attic space re-routed my rain downspout across the back of the house to a common discharge Installed four, six-panel entry doors in the second floor of the house (oh and trimmed out those doors as well) Installed a new Grohe shower arm and shower head and re-caulked the master bath and partied my fanny off. Who has time to work on the 911... ![]()

1) Replaced fuse box with ATO style block from Fred Cook
2) Replaced instrument cluster backlights with LEDs from Etarga 3) Euro style H4's installed with 80/100W bulbs 4) Removed stock leather driver's seat and removed the leather to sew a seam that was coming apart. 5) Reinstalled front trunk heater system after 3 years (!) of sorting out a small electrical meltdown. 6) Lubed and aligned window regulators to fix slow window issue on both sides. 7) Then went for a drive along the front range of the rockies. It was a good Xmas break!

Put my '78 SC up on jacks and pulled the front suspension off for a complete Elephant Racing rebuild, thread here.
It was bloody cold in the garage so I didn't get as much done as I wanted. But I progress a little bit each night. I found some nightmare problems that I solved with luck, so a new control arm, new spindle spacers and new bearings. Even with the nightmare stuff, I still love it! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
