Well guys I am very proud to be in week two of owning a beautiful 1988 911. In the week before I picked it up and the week since I have learned a lot on this forum and have applied most of what I have learned.

So in the past week I have (for the good) installed new stereo system, alarm system, speakers, replace burnt out bulbs, installed interior trim pieces that were missing (brake / seat belt light, defrost light) removed seats and detailed interior, replaced headlights, fixed cruise control, changes oil (Penn), changed transmission gear oil (Royal Purple), installed new (ie proper) battery, and have ordered various other misc parts that need to be replaced.

The previous owner had no clue how to detail a car so I am still working here and there to make the interior look good. Right now it is excellent for a 25 year old car.

The bad? Not much, other than a door ding (****** soccer mom) and may have 901 transmission instead of G50. Oh! I do have a surge issue, orders a new voltage regulator and will replace it next week

The ugly .... Well I had a major environmental incident today when I changed the oil. The plug shot off and plugged the hole in the drain pan and 12 quarts of oil ended up on the garage floor and down my driveway. So next project is pressure washer and degreaser. My wife isn't too happy with her new house driveway streaked with oil. Doht!

All in all, a good week
