thats really nice morghen, minerva blue?
fixed my hatch locks without using 968 parts.
i bought some new bushings for them a few months back (from Greenwater on Pelican) to cure the squeak/ rattling hatch. when I took the plastic covers off each side, in the bottom was the crumbled old bushing.
both sides were bad so I'm happy they're done. a quick test drive showed no more rattles and squeaks. cleaning and regreasing them seems to have cured the pax side not locking properly.
i changed the drivers door switch too. the old one was buggered but the new one hasn't fixed my interior lights or alarm showing an open door so more fault finding required.

Installed a new hatch seal. Remember - don't cut it! It only takes a few extra minutes to do it the right way.
Hatch clunking when going over bumps : gone.
I was convinced I was eventually going to shatter the whole window.

Filled it up with 16 gallons of Shell and repaired my underhood light. Removed my cable for the decklid release and ordered a new one. And ordered a lit key head, 3 wipers, 2 tie rods, a set of plug wires, and a suede dash cover!
I also cleaned a 2 prong electrical connector down beside the windshiled washer fluid tank, wish I knew what it was for!

Weekend saw a few things taken care of on the 951:
- Bled the cooling system
- Flushed the brake fluid with some ATE super gold
- Installed a 3Bar FPR in advance of the A-Tune getting installed later this week
- Found out I have a very sloppy ball joint on the drivers side (working on finding a replacement today)
- Changed out the wheels for a set of Boxster S Twists

I just changed my O2 sensor. I had bought a new one a few years ago but the old one was stuck and I set it aside to do later. I finally got around it today. 
It was a real bitch to get off, tho, and I started to chew up the parts despite soaking it in penetrant for the last few days. I decided to tap it with a 4 lb sledge hammer but alternating between tightening it and straight in to the wrench. After about thirty seconds of that, the sensor broke loose and the rest was pretty straight forward.
