Default Winter Chassis Cleaning
I started to renew the brake rotors and cleaned the calipers over the last few weeks. While I was in there I also cleaned up the suspension a little.

To make the time in the garage go by a little faster I put up a new HD TV and DVR.

Here are some pix of the work so far, crazy I know.

How? How? How? Do you take off the individual components and them? Those rotors are immaculate. Are they new? How many miles on the Queen of Queens..
Amazing!!!!!!!!! I pull up your posts every time I need to be inspired to clean. Truly and inspiration.

Side note on our obsessions.. so I am outside yesterday giving the beast it's cleaning, and my neighbor comes over and says.. "your cleaning the bottom of your car?". He told the whole neighborhood that I am obsessed. I do not dare show him these pictures, he'd have a stroke.

Truly amazing work...




Sorry, but I sold the 993 last week and bought a beater '99 996.
Three questions
1. Why
2. No Pics?
3. Why

You shouldn't leave a soda can sitting on your garage carpeting. Might leave a ring.

Kinda disagree.

Its a car, not a picasso. Fine machinery should be used or its simply art.

This car doesn't look used at all.
