Finished pulling the front seats for new skins. On each side, one bolt stripped. Even after blaster, this 15 minute job turned into several days of revisiting, drilling, cussing…

Installed new Sebro rear rotors and Mintex pads, Swepco tranny fluid change is next There is nothing like the feel of new rotors and pads except maybe new tires. The lower rear caliper bolt was a little tricky but not a big problem, the first one is always hardest..

The car is new to me. After my 60 mile or so drive today I have put about 300 miles on it. Only had it about a month. The original seats in the car were recovered and in descent shape but happened to find the Porsche script Recaros for a deal local. So much nicer having the cloth inserts and the deeper bolsters over the original vinyl seats.

We took the SC to the grocery store. No big deal but it is always better in the 911.

We took it to the Empire Hill Climb Revival in Michigan to show but when the Quattro zero car broke we gallantly took its place.

I listen to the Dead all the time in my Targa... LOL

Today I found the the power loss in my car as I chased it through the ignition. I changed out the plugs and found 2 wires backing themselves off of the plugs. Wish I checked the wires first before spending 3 hours on changing out the plugs....ackkkkk!
