You can get the pedal cluster out without having to undo the master cylinder from the line:

I will leave it alone for now... heck! I will leave the window open and go in and out through the window

Let me get to the suspension height and then do this at least for the driver side for now... it really does not feel like it is too much effort to close it...

Well, I was going to wait for Chris bushings to show up and do that before doing the alignment.... I just could not wait. I got the alignment done this morning at the Porsche dealer (Jim is such a cool guy)... I really wanted to drive the car and could not deal with having it in the garage another month...
So I am now driving this baby and will plan on putting the bushings in sometime next year.

Got a few more parts to save in case I ever need them:
Gas tank check valve in case it ever goes bad... since Porsche has a tendency to raise prices, better get that now before it continues to go up... wish I had done the same with the A/C front blowers![grr](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/cussing.gif)

Also got all the clips for the side sills... for when I remove all that for painting along with the bumper corner for the dual exhaust. Also got a few oil filters, fuel filters, etc... to keep a stock.
That clutch operating cylinder you see in the photo is for the 996TT (also as a spare just in case).

Drilled and bolted, correct. You can also use some of the epoxy glue that they sell for glueing door skins. Pretty strong stuff and avoids you having to drill the floor. But that still leaves the other bolts that line up with the floor beam.

face your fears and work in the car. I did all this because I knew I had people here in the forum that would help me if I got stuck. Take a lot of photos, document stuff, take your time, get the right tools if you don't have them... it is fun and the best therapy in the world!!
