Default Kid friendly Porsche project

Today my son & I removed my front bumper and rockers for respray. We also removed the a/c condensor to make way for my second oil cooler.

He tackled the plastic nuts and screws on the bumper, fender liners, and rocker with no issues. He also labeled the plastic bags with the hardware.

Just thought I would share one of my most enjoyable Porsche projects.

Default Porsche + Kids

Great fun I'm looking forward to get to this stage with my 3 yr old. He loves to go on a ride with me and always wants to help when I'm doing some DIY or cleaning the car.
Pic below was after a long ride on a sunny day.

Safety First car seat, it came with a retractable / detachable base on the rear that I removed. With the base removed it fits like a glove on the rear seat narrow space. Mind you that I'm in Canada and I've bought it at Canadian Tire 1 year ago. I can check the specific model later on if you need, but I happen to have the pic below that specify the kid size/weight limits for the seat.

I removed the a/c condensor. My second cooler will be mounted in this location.

I purchased the cooler from a racer that converted his car back to stock.

The a/c condensor bracket was modified to accept an OE cooler.

Can't you just use the same AC cooler for the oil (very hot oil)? Just run the lines over to it.
