Spring Detail all done!
Just did my spring detail, took about 6.5 hours in total. Which is less time than it took to originally detail the car when I first got it.
I just had elephant racing control arm bushings installed, xenon head light kit, and the rear bumper supports done (they were all rusted through, costs an arm and a leg to get it done), new distributor belts, new spark plugs and wires, and a fresh oil change. I am now looking at new wheels as my turbo twists will probably end up being used for track duty (does the slope get any less slippery as you silde down?), but now it's all finished!

The 997 is not mine, it's my dad's. He has a 997 S but likes the look of my 993S better!
I am in Wicker Park in Chicago, the picture was taken in Madison, WI.

Nice work on the detail - my car comes out of hibernation this weekend and I've got the same to-do list.
When the weather gets consistently better - we should all get out for an early morning weekend cars n coffee...

I was asked by a gentleman in a purple Chevrolet Impala with 26" rims if it was the batmobile. I had to say yes 
I am running Sumitomo HTR Z III's, so far so good. And the ride height needs to be adjusted I know...I'm think ROW springs as I already have bilstein HDs on the car that were put in about 3k miles ago.
