Modified my door panel with houndstooth fabric, since I love houndstooth and I wanted to brighten the interior a bit. I cut out the door pocket area and glued a piece of particle board into the hole. Need to add a strap so I can actually close the door, and maybe one day 3D print a replacement door handle cover with a slot for one of those fancy door pulls.

I love houndstooth as well. Very much want to do the seats and door panels in that fabric on my 87 911.

- Got outside electric mirrors and both electric windows to work.
- Removed and epoxied leaking windshield washer tank.
- Removed old shift boot and installed new one.
- Swapped out cruise module but it did not solve the problem. I cleaned the servo the other day so I'm thinking something in the steering column or perhaps the clutch and/or brake switches.

This car is slowly approaching zero defects!

Got my new front brake rotors in from Paragon, my old el-cheapo Rock Auto parts warped in under a year with no driving through standing water. German-made Zimmermann for $40 each... and when I opened the box I realized they had a zinc coating on them. I don't know if you can get a better deal than that for NA rotors.

After I finished replacing the head gasket, along with a bunch of "while you're in there" adders, I noticed the clutch hose weeping at the crimp , so today, I went to change out the clutch master, clutch slave, reservoir hose and pressure hose, and discovered that a 1987 924S hose does not fit a 1987 924S (about 3" too short) - you have to use a 1986 951 hose.
The 2017 revision of the 924S PET actually shows 3 different part numbers (one of which is the 1986 951 part number), and the clutch hose diagram is (still) completely wrong - it shows the flexible hose connected to the master, but my master has a hard line directly connected, and the rubber hose connects to the other end of that hard line where it drops down to the slave.
Correct part on order. Takin' the rest of the weekend off. Oh wait - do I have to mow the lawn? Damn, always something to do...

The Instrument lights are noticeable during day on/off, here is a video which shows what's involved to make it brighter.

Glad you shared this. I'm going to be embarking on a clutch replacement come winter and will put this on the message board in the garage. This probably explains why modern cars have a parts number tag on what seems to be just about everything.

I had a single flexible line made to go between my master and slave. Much quicker, cheaper and I can route it any way I please.

Learning the car as I haven't worked on a 944 (and never a turbo) in decades. While removing the air filter I fumbled one of the screws and now it's down somewhere around the radiator. Nightmare.
I thought these were captive screws but NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loosen the radiator fan holder a bit on the lower edge...run a flex magnet around in there..perhaps you can snag the bolt..Good luck..otherwise you'll find out where it is when the fan comes on!

After fumbling it with a wooden dowel (with a piece of double sided tape) it fell through and landed on the belly pan so I was able to get it. I have a magnet on a telescopic antenna like mast but that was too fat. Next it was a string and magnet but the magnet stuck to everything but what I wanted it to.

Thanks though—flex magnet? Like one of those magnetic strips?

First drive after a full 968 drive train swap (engine, torque tube, transmission, gas tank, etc.) in a '84 944
Huge difference in power



Finally, off the jack stands

First drive without a hood
