To-do list for the next few months:
- replace under-hood insulation, or at least remove the old nasty adhesive
- dyno tune... right now it hauls, but it's a seat of the pants tune and could be better
- finish removing the s***ty looking undercaoting from my engine bay
- repair my extra dash. It's almost ready to be upholstered. My current dash is FG and is still crack free, but I would rather look at vinyl or leather. Plus I didn't sand it as smooth as I should have.

Sounds great Mike ;-)
I'm just finishing a brake job (Pictures to follow).
Winter plans:
- Remove that inner hood insulation, it looks crappy
- Send off my dash for professional re-vinylling:

I'm looking forward to a FULL season of driving next year.

Would you all spend $100k sorting a 968 or 944 and another $25~30k maintaining it?
if i have mine 40 years, i figure it'll be just a little past $3,000 per year to have driven the one i wanted.

I think I'm still around the ~$20k mark including purchase price for total investment since 2005.
For purely maintenance costs...I think I'm approaching $300 for 2017 so far...
What am I planning to do to it this year?
Maybe wash it...LOL
