On the C2S gave it a thorough wash, addressed some water spots/stains, practiced polishing the paint (non metallic black) but haven't found the right combo of products pad and procedure to get the results I want. Gave it a coat of sealant for now. Looks the best it has since we got it.

On the TT, changed a faulty door switch that's been driving me crazy for years.

I didn't know it but since it's been bad the doors would lock themselves a few minutes after disarming the alarm. I thought I developed an electrical gremlin with the alarm system.

Turns out since the car couldn't detect the door was opened after disarming, it locked and re-armed automatically.

Thanks RL! A good day for 993's at my house today.

Went for a nice long drive last night after getting the kids ready for bed. On the way back home, topped off the fuel tank and, almost immediately, the cabin filled with the stench of fuel. After driving the 2ish miles home, I parked it in the garage and let it sit overnight so I could investigate today. Long-story-short, I found the fuel sending unit barely hand tight with a bunch of fuel sitting in the spare's fold. Good times!

I started to install LEDs into my already removed gauges, but realized I ordered the wrong twistlock connectors.

And dang this is a good looking car.

Replaced all four Horn Return Bushings on the 993.
So nice to not have the horn go off when I hit the brakes.

What bushings did you use? I bought bushings from a company and had my Porsche garage replace them this fall and after about 50 miles it started honking when I hit the brakes again.

I bought Zims horn returns (thanks for the reminder) and I wonder if the shop screwed up though it is a well respected air cooled shop in Chicago.
