Put new PORSCHE decal above rear bumper... Started replacement of all the gauge/instrument panel bulbs (some old ones burned out). Going 100% LED - interior and exterior (turn signals, etc.)
Today I got the urge for a little time travel. Since my 84 resides in the man-cave with me I walked over and lifted the cover, opened the door and smelled 1984 with all it's good memories. Closed the door, dropped the cover and returned to 2019 until next time. Sadly the S2 shivers in the outside garage at 25 degrees this morning but Spring is just around the corner
Replaced camshaft & balance belts. First belt replacement for me and it was not difficult. Big thanks to Clarks Garage and Arnnworx tools; I could not have done without them. Also changed the clutch slave and master cylinders and both soft lines and the oil & filter with Mobil1 15W-50. Now she's ready for another year of not-so-much driving.

Sigh
