Porsche Crest Items done today...

I stopped by MPDano's early this morning, and he helped complete four items from the 2011 to do list. The completion of the remaining items, and the creation of a fully functional car is now within my grasps...

Dude, I actually drove home with ice cold air conditioning today....Yeeeaaaahhhhhhh

Thanks Leo...,

Anytime Al! I take it you went to "Eskimo Auto AC Shop," and they were able to take you in when you left my house? Just curious if you beat my 45 minute drive in then drive out AC fix. That place is awesome!

Glen, it was just bugging me too much to keep seeing Als 928 with those Ricer eBay Headlights, so we picked a couple up from Autozone. Looks great but for some reason they didn't light up. I think he needs Glens expertise on this

headlights..

I realized that my old lights weren't working, I just haven't driven my car at night. When they old lights did work, I would get a highbean light on the dash, which disappeared months ago. I just need to figure out fuses/connections/switch, whatever it is to get lights, should be a breeze.

Today Glen helped me with the 14 pin connector cleaning, and we disengaged the annoying, cheap antenna, as I will remove the radio soon.

It was a productive weekend, I will drive the 928 on Monday, Tues. and Wed. this week...

Car to do list, must complete by 2011:
1 DONE--Purchase new rear tires
2 DONE--Battery Replacement
3 DONE—Alternator replacement
4 DONE — Resolve 4th gear transmission issue
5 STARTED--Obtain second ignition key
6 DONE- Replace gas filter
7 DONE- new front headlight bulbs
8 DONE- Air conditioning ice cold
9 DONE- New wiper blades
10 DONE- 14 pin connector cleanup

11 -Remove gas tank, replace return hose
12 –STARTED- Radio/Alarm/antenna extraction
13 -Purchase radio plate or three gauge setup
14 -New insulation & Carpet
