Sorting the car out.
1. Frunk struts were shot. Easy fix only if you take extra 10 seconds to tie the clip with dental floss. One got away from me and it took me an hour to find and fish the darn thing out.
2. Air filter and Oil change - much easier than 993s without having to take apart the heat exchanger. Had to beat up the Purlator filter as it does not fit the oil filter wrench well. Too small. End up using a faucet removal tool to get it out. Guess I could have poked a hole and get better leverage.

4. Wanted to put 17" on so replaced steering rack bushings and fought hydraulic lines to get a piece of metal in there. Found a ripped steering boot? Will have to replace that..

2 bolts were originals and two on the rack brace are new. Here is another look at the fresh shiny new bolt.
Pulled a total amateur move while tightening down and did not seat hex in the bolt completely partially stripping it. Hammered it to flush and removed that bolt. Replaced with a fresh one. They are soft..

You didn't use a bolt from the hardware store did yu?
I've got tons of the oem bolts for the inside, just an fyi....but it you had an issue w the longer bolts that came w the rack- if you replace those, make sure you use a good hard bolt, so later if the rack needs to come out, you can get it out. You don't want to deal w a stripped allen head there.

New line. I think it's like $375 and it also has a heat shield that may need replacing, that's what the hose clamp you see is for.
It's part hardline and part steel braided.
You may find them cheaper if you Google the Part Number...
