Default Various 993 Projects

Here are some of my latest projects. Mostly cleaning things up, which makes it easier to find the items that need repair on a 21 year old car. An obnoxious amount of pictures to follow...

Detailing the wheel wells:

It's a little difficult to see in this picture, but the boots on my droplinks were beginning to split at the seams. They had not completely split yet, but it was inevitable. Since the joints were still good I just replaced the boots. I found the exact size needed, thankfully. New boots installed left, old with split on right:

Refinishing the calipers:












Removing these little screws from the spring plates was a real bear. I destroyed most of them in the process. The plates themselves polished up like new, the screws had to be replaced.

Excellent! Love the zinc dichromate parts.

Fister 3 with fabspeed sportcats sound incredible imo. I'm curious to know what you think.

Very nice work!! The calipers look great! Interested to know what paint and stripper you used, and is that's decal or a stencil? Rennline sells Brembo stencils, and while they don't advertise it, they also carry great Porsche stencils. Again, great work there Sir!
