The bumpers are DONE! Front and rear, fully installed. As previously mentioned, the toughest part of the job was dealing with Porsche's insane 18-point fascia attachment system. I used Paintscratch spray paint and a clearcoat by Rustoleum that I got at a hardware store! Medium cut polish followed by a finer polish, and it looks pretty good.

I finally fixed my odometer.... Turns out the shaft that the gear is on just slid out of alignment.. Just pushed it back and now it works! I was expecting to have to order a new odometer gear.. I'm glad I decided to tear it apart before ordering.
Much easier job than I was expecting. I have been putting this off for quite a while now.

went to take the car out of the garage from winter storage...clutch pedal went right to the floor. it was a little spongy last time i drove it (in December), but thought a bleed was all it needed.
Bad master-to-slave line, slave seems to be leaking a bit too. hope to find parts to rebuild this weekend

replaced M-to-S line, rebuilt slave cylinder, bled system, adjusted pedal. drives great now!
installed used "performance chip" i picked up. noticed a little difference. not huge, but enough to make the $50 worthwhile.

Just found a great deal on a rebuilt waterpump....
I've looked everywhere...
Zims...$89.95 + core $80 (late style pump and gasket)
2 year warranty...the best out there. Everyone else is 12 months.
The research I've done tells me that the Zims rebuilts are top notch.
Heck...even a brand new one is only $385 there too!
Feeling better about this task.
