Second, my 993 is a 95, do I need to? Is there a downside if it doesn't function at all?

Okay, I'll play...
993
Short shift install
Paint wheels
Steering rack brace (need to verify if there or not) It's there - DONE!
LPMM
Replace hood crest gasket
Badge delete (maybe)
Paint rear grill/bumperettes (maybe)
Trunk/decklid struts - Done
3-spoke wheel - Done (sweet!)
Repair sunroof - Done (dirty plug)
Drive, Drive, Drive!
911
Final debug carbs
Repair main seal(leak)
Trailing arm bushings
Paint race wheels
Modify swaybar links
Drive, Drive, Drive!
I suspect most of these will become New Year's resolutions rather than winter projects!

Drive with aplomb through snow drifts
Clean off the salty slush whenever it gets above freezing
Perhaps replace the stereo head unit with an iPod friendly one
Install RS Front splitters if I can find a good deal
Fix things as needed to keep car operational.
Come spring/summer:
Replace shocks with Bilsteins all around
Maybe replace the clutch
Catch up any maintenance that it was too cold to do all winter.
