Horizon blue metallic? The more I read on this site over the years, the less I realize I know. I've never heard of that color - I must have missed something along the way... Very cool and unique color. You must be the only one on Rennlist with it! Enjoy the new wheels - they look great on your car.

GT3 Euro seats (just picked up), DAS bar, Scroth 6 pts, RS panels, and Supercups.

Oh, and a new set of car mats.

To continue to stay in a nice warm garage under its car cover during its hibernation period here in Michgan. It's close to zero degrees outside with over a foot of snow on the ground. If the 993 good, then it will get an oil change, new front and rear hood shocks, and a deep cleaning in the Spring. Well, come to think of it, the 993 is going to get all of that stuff whether it's good or bad.

Hi Steve, it's nice to see you're back.

I'm getting new motor mounts-either Wevos or Porsche RS.

Happy Holidays everyone!

A new valve spring for the #4 intake on the yellow car. Actually, a patching up by Steve and a whole new set of 12. And lots of labor next weekend to put the thing back together again.

A PSS9 install for the silver car, which I did yesterday afternoon and this morning. I guess I'll do the brakes while I'm at it.

And I know a 964 doesn't really count here, but I got the rod knockin' cab out to the shop so I can put a decent engine in it and use it as a driver.

Nice to make some car progress after business issues for the past 6 months...........

Just a few small things, like a tray to replace the cassette holder in the center console, Gert's FPB, and maybe a new pedal set. And if my car's really been good, I might treat it to a set of stainless steel door sills

The '95 gets new floor mats, Michelins, and maybe some air ducts to replace the useless fog light/city light combo. Oh yeah, she gets poked and prodded by the local CA Smog monkey too.

The '69 gets a vintage Racemark steering wheel, new wheel bearing, Momo Acropolis seat, and maybe a custom shift lever set-up if I can get my act together.


Merry Christmas!
