painted decklid grill





old sunroof seal looks bald next to flawless paint





hip hip




step 1 - remove scratches, chips, rust bubblets and swirls
step 2 - add new rubbers all round (damn sunroof seal!) & hood/decklid struts
step 3 - stand back and let it all blow your hair back .... #:-D

first outing with the sun out here for a little ... now how easy is it to lower her 10-15mm? It is a ROW/M030 car .. do I need new shocks?



I take it Bill V is as much the goto guy on Suspension as he is on Brakes .. so this seems to be the way:

"There are several degrees of lowering
-least and least flexible is to use RoW M030 springs on stock 993 struts/shocks
-next would be RoW M030 springs on fully threaded Bilstein hd. The damping isn't adjustable but the ride height is fully adjustable, you can set it where ever you can live w/ it. For additional flexibility there are alternate aftermarket springs available
-next is PSS9/10 as w/ the fully threaded Bilsteins you can adjust height but also can adjust damping
-next is JIC which adds monoballs & camber plates and a wide range of spring rates
-next is double adjustable Motons which add separate rebound and compression damping"

so in my case ie M030 ... I need the Bil Hd?

BBS fitted ... Will do slight drop in front, corner weight, street carving alignment soon I hope ... Also need to deepen the front wheel dish a bit - gold is great but silver or platinum grey might be stealthier .. Hmmmm (first world problems )










Wow seems iPad pics don't get resized automatically ... Ooops

Spyder they aren't real ... they're FVD or Rennline I think; just nice and solid and hard to remove which is likely why they replaced the BBS centres the PO had ..

I think I will replace them with metal P centre caps although maybe BBS in rigtht color would look best (Gert?).

Not even sure the P caps will fit but no need for pretend C-Locks on a garage queen right?
