what did you do with your 968 today.....

What are you doing with the old dash board? How long did it take you to do?
#992
I got my car back on Wednesday after the replacement dash install. There are no cracks in it now! Fortunately, the original didn't have many to begin with. But, I didn't think about this one because the dye on all of the trim pieces is 30 years old while the dash is much newer than that, so there is a bit of a different in the black. Now the question is what to do with the original dash.
Another issue is the trip odometer button wasn't reconnected properly. If i understand right, I can just pull that pod out of the overall dash to reconnect it.

Nice work.
how did you shim the windshield so it sits at the same level as the old one? Or did you buy a new windshield with the urethane spacer on the inside?

Yesterday, I removed my chipped windshield and changed the brittle old dashboard for a pretty well preserved used dashboard. The old one had suffered from the californian sun for too long.
Today I installed (glued) the windshield into the frame. Of course tomorrow I'll finish the rest and clean my hood and the car completely.

Just remember to ONLY reset the trip Odometer when standing still.

The old dashboard is now on top of my shelf and I still don't know what to do with it. Maybe I sell it on Ebay.

So I think my next project is to get some of the body work fixed. I've got two headlight covers and I need a right side skirt (or have it repaired) as I have a crack just in front of the rear wheel. Where is the best place to source one of them? Once I do those, I'll need to focus on the trim along the hatch and some of the rubber seals. After that, some paint work and my car will be ship shape.

Looks like the clutch pedal clevis...not sure what the valve stem looking cap is.... The brake pedal clevis looks similar. Do you have the heavier Sachs pressure plate and not the Porsche 968 pressure plate ?

That is correct!
It is the clutch clevis. My clutch pedal was randomly going to the floor and staying there I figured after 117k it was time to replace both master and slave and found this on tear down. The pin was worn out too and was grabbing in the elongated hole. Still replacing everything.
I don’t know if I have a stock or aftermarket clutch disk I got the car used - aside from not returning intermittently pedal has always felt pretty good but I don’t have anything to compare it too.

Took the family and the 968 from LA to Ventura on Father's Day for breakfast. On the way back, stopped by the Santa Paula Airport, hoping to see some vintage aircraft. They open the hangars once a month for visitors. Alas, we missed it this month.
For those of you aviation enthusiasts, from what I understand, Santa Paula airport is the place to go out here for WWI/early period aircraft restoration. Or at least, that is what a former coworker of mine said. He kept his gypsy and tiger moths there.

Well not today, but all week. I went on a 1,000 journey to see big trees. Cruised down the "Avenue of the Giants". Took the Ferndale "Lost Coast Highway".
Had a wonderful time. Car ran great. It brought me miles of smiles and a few giggles.
