What did you do to your 911 today?

[steve84]

On Thursday night, I picked-up my 1984 Carrera from the shop after having a Wevo shifter and PSJ coupler installed. I then took my "new" car for my first extended drive. The Wevo shifter and coupler made a huge difference.

Over the weekend, I undertook my first self-repairs to this car. I installed the JWest headlamp relay, and replaced the AC relay with a fused relay, as well as replacing the old fuses. Next weekend, I'll be replacing the high - low beams stalk.

I replaced my Odyssey battery after it died, tested it with a multi meter and got 0.05v

Installed the new one went to start the car up and noticed the glove box light was on

I had killed it myself leaving the thing ajar after grabbing some stuff out of it after a drive the other weekend. Note to self turn off the glove box light switch and only turn it on when you need it.

Now have the original on a reconditioning charge at my mates workshop to see if it is salvageable.

Oh well if it is able to be saved I have a spare to loan anyone else stupid enough to do the same thing.

I got mine running after laying dormant in the neighbors driveway for 8 years!

Now to work out all the little issues to get it back on the road!

Last fall, on what turned out to be the last drive of the year, I passed a truck on the highway. After passing, I attemped to shift back into 5th, but the transmission was stuck in 4th. I managed to get back home by running a couple of stop signs and carefully selecting my route to avoid stop lights. Once parked my 911 just sat there. Occasionally, I would sit in it and wiggle the shifter to see if it might have miraculously come loose. No luck. So yesterday my car got picked up for a trip to the shop. As you can see in the background, it's not really the right weather to drive around in yet, but hopefully the roads will have cleared by the time the transmission is rebuilt.

Needed to hang a ladder and wanted to clean under her for the first time in a long while, so I skinned her up and pushed her outside. Got me motivated to pull a bit more of the interior and get the left fender off.

Any tips or threads I can get pointed towards for help removing the dash in a '77?





She's so tiny next to my truck.



and of course, the ladder.

French style headlights! They are original H4 NOS Bosch yellow lenses.

put a hundred miles on her through Big Tujunga Canyon.

Yesterday I pulled the speedometer drive out. The project was to find a tranny fluid leak, which I'm pretty sure I have.

Somehow though, I ended up like this today...



In the back of mind was a project, way down the road, to strip the red paint off the faux 'S' shroud and go back to black. For some reason I started doing that today. The red shroud used to look pretty good. The unfriendly atmosphere in the engine compartment has taken a toll though. The red paint was bubbling and a past oil leak had pretty much coated everything with oil and dirt.

A mere 6 years ago...



I spent about 4 hours stripping paint and it looks okay now.

Put in the Jwest relays, installed a new turn signal switch, and fused the dash lights on my newly acquired '87 Carrera. Breathed a sigh of relief when I found no burnt wires anywhere in the dash! - Matt

Did an oil change, 11 quarts of Brad Penn, and an OC-54, leak check, all good! On a side note, filed in small claims court for the rear ender, since Geico decided that they didn't want to play. Official game is on!

In preparation for Targa CA tomorrow...It's out with the old seats and in with the new. The D-Zug Lollipop seats came with sliders and bolted right in!

Old Pasha ST's Gone!



The new Lollipops...

I bet that was fun - great roads.

Brakes felt a little soft on the 70 so my son and I bled them. Sure enough a lot of air in the right rear. Nice and firm now.

[Rich Lambert]

Put everything back together!

Still blasting parts to be powder coated or plated.

I must be a sick person - every time I see the thread heading I think of this:

Replaced mine tonight... passenger side is as easy as it gets. The bottom mount on the driver side is more difficult. I used an allen wrench to move the pin just far enough to let the shock out. Then wrestling around the filler neck and harness there for about 5 minutes before I could get the pin back through. Previous owner must have been intimated because the passenger side was new but driver was much older and completely blown. Total time ~10mins and now a hood that stays open without a 3 wood to hold it up.

bought a set of 993 heat exchangers. now have to figure out muffler configuration..

[PDACPA]

Lapkritis - rears are not too bad either. Airfilter box cover has to come out and the other side has the double. Drove me crazy carrying a piece of wood trim to prop the lids on a Porsche!
