Where did this leave me? Well I removed some of the previous owner’s “personalized touches” on the side of the road in Kaslo. I then took it out and met some of the neighbors.
Note the then-new 991 Targa. It was drawing crowds all day long with demonstrations of its roof mechanism.
I’ve also done some basic maintenance, including replacing the rotors and pads, as it had developed a warped front rotor at some point. New tools/parts/hardware came from both Pelican Parts and Porsche Centre Calgary, the latter of which offers a 10% discount to PCA Wild Rose Region members.
I must say, I am always impressed by the high level of service and competitive prices offered by Pelican Parts. Shame about that exchange rate though . . .
Good buddy and I spent a couple sessions cleaning up some dodgy wiring throughout the car. There were so many circuits and splices and switches and accessories, mostly consisting of lamp wire held together with Marrettes. Catastrophic fire waiting to happen? As a result of our ongoing work, I’m not as concerned about the 911 self-immolating as I once was.
The above are just the photos I remembered to take. The frunk and dash were an absolute wiring mess. This is a bit of a work in progress. Every now and then when I feel motivated and have a bit of help, I tackle some more dodgy wiring . . .
