Got my car out of hibernation! I've been overseas for the last year and a half, riding this Covid thing out quietly.
Reconnected the negative terminal, pulled the DME/fuel pump relay. Turned the key, saw the red oil light, cranked about 5-6 seconds. Light went off, oil needle moved.
Installed relay, checked tire pressure, and went for a 20 mile highway jaunt. Need to get the car smoged. Oil changed, and I should be good to go...
And go I hope. Planning a 5,000 mile trip in July.

Replaced the hood shocks. Easier than I figure it would be. Now to do my 924S and 911 hood shocks.
Also, had some battery tray rust issues taken care of last week.

Looks nice in white.
Got to keep the rust gremlins at bay.
I'm a little surprised that there is that much rust. All you hear about is the zinc galvanized dipping process.......

Had it done by Queen City Auto Rebuild in Redmond, WA. Porsche certified shop. Was about $300.
They're currently making my 911 whole again, and installing a new tail I bought way back in 2008. (someone amputated years ago) Then the economy crashed and I never got it done.

I was surprised when I saw it too. Battery acid leakage, no doubt.

Guess I need to talk to Queen City about repainting either my S2 or the 951. They did a bunch of work on my A4 when I fit a lot of S4 body panels.

PS 5,000 mile trip in July has been cancelled due to extreme heat.
Photos or it didn't happen.

Took out glovebox lock, completely disassembled, moved tumblers around for an hour or two until I got the lock to work, then reassembled everything.

Started taking stuff that I've piled on top of it off and filled the tires with air today. More than I've done with it in over a year and a half.
"It ran when parked" when I drove it into my garage when I moved half way across the country in November of 2019 and it's been sitting in that spot collecting dirt, sand, grime and junk ever since. It's been a chicken roost, a cat bed, a storage shed and a shelving unit since it's been parked but I'm hopeful never a mouse house.
This summer it needs some work done and I need to get it back on the road. The 400 miles I've driven it since I've owned it (prior to moving) has been replaying in my mind every time I drive my 87 NA. As much as I love that 944, it just doesn't do it like the 968 does. We need to do something about that...

@royalschwarz : What's that color? Your clear coat looks like mine, but without the obvious and terrible body work on the fenders.
You're right, too, that a car that pretty needs to be seen!
Cheers
