[GH85Carrera]

Drive it, and fix what is wearing out or breaking.

Like the list above, electrical connections are something to clean and double check. Add the fuses to the places that Porsche should have. Instrument lights are one of the most egregious failures to fuse. The front AC condenser blower is a major one as well if you have one. The footwell blowers need a fuse as well.

I bought my 85 Carrera back in 1995. Over the decades I have done all the projects, replaced the suspension bushing with new rubber bushings, all the electrical issues addresses. I upgrade the AC with a full Griffith's system and my AC blows ice cubes. Transmission rebuilt, engine rebuilt, shifter bushings, wheel bearings, refurbished brake calipers. My master cylinder is still stock OEM, but I replace the brake fluid every single spring without fail so I don't worry about it.

I did replace the brake light switches when the brake light took a lot of pressure to activate. And I replaced the bulbs with a LED board that is BRIGHT. I like having very bright brake lights.

If something is worn, I fix it. My wife commented a few years ago I was not spending time in the garage on the 911. I told her pretty much all the projects are done to it. Now I just do routine maintenance, and drive. I have visited 41 states and Canada and my goal is to his all the lower 48 states. I have done many 12 hour drive in a day, three trips to California, Key West, northern Maine, and we visited Gettysburg, PA this summer.

I have 186,000 miles and will not hesitate to drive it anywhere where there is no snow or ice. I have summer performance tires, and they don't like snow and ice, and I don't much care for it either.
