Got the pearl and clear coats on. It's not perfect, but it will do for a set of phonedials.

Pulled the cam cover and checked lash on all 16 valves. Now I'm thinking about having the cam cover powder coated while its off.

Got a pic ?

I am filling the splits in my dash (Bondo method) and am looking for finish options, bought textured paint, just not sure yet... well, back to sanding

Just did some searching and turned up an old post using SEM Texture Coating and SEM paint over bondo, looks to be thr ticket.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it's not oem finish. it makes the dash a uniform color and texture, that's all i wanted.

Replaced my front wheel bearings, receiver drier and trans oil with swepco. I think I have have only one of ten 944's in the US where the a/c, clock, sunroof all work and the dash has no cracks.

drove it from san jose to san diego yesterday on less than a tank, and the whole way questioned my oil pressure. the gauge read 2 bar the whole way and would drop to 0 and the light would come on at idling, but there was no weird noise or anything, no leaks, and the oil level was perfect.

going to clean the sender wires today, maybe put a different gauge in

Pulled the tranny to swap in a short 5th gear. Hopefully will have time this weekend to finish the job. I'll be watching the Rolex race tonight instead of wrenching.

pulled the old oil sender, found out it was leaking and had loose terminals, put the original back on the car, gauge reads perfect.

pulled the power steering cooler and reservoir and sealed the lines on the rack. much easier than i thought it would be
