Was able to do 15 minutes work last night.
dip stick, done.
Hood shocks, done.
Hatch shocks, done.
Hatch latch insert, done.
It's literally taken me longer to reply to this thread.
Sorry Doc, maybe someday. 😀
Mostly superficial work at this time. The car mechanically was cared for over the years as well.
My wife not so much .She is the one that named her Pimpin. 😂

One of the local PCA Club guys just got an S4 cassirot, just like yours. I haven't seen it in person yet. He had a couple of 928s "back in the day", and is happy to be getting back into one. He is a track guy - was my instructor for a Club DE a couple of years ago. Fastest person I ever rode with when he took me out during the instructor session with his vette. He told me he may try his new cassirot at the track (it's a roger box)
