Default Making Progress

Well, my part-part-time job of refreshing my 993TT is making progress, figured I'd post some updates.

Work Completed so far:
1) Replaced both lower VC Gaskets (not as daunting as it looked)
2) Replaced Spark Plugs (more daunting than it looked until I found the right socket/extn combo)
3) Replaced Cap and Rotor
4) Replaced Fuel Filter (I hate wearing gasoline!)
5) Replaced Air Filter
6) Replaced Both Oil Filters, refilled with Red Line Synthetic
7) Replaced both rear trunk struts
8) Beadblasted and Powdercoated Calipers with new Porsche Scripts
9) Replaced front hard lines to calipers (buggered fittings)
10) Complete brake system flush
11) Detailed all four wheels inside and out

Work to go still:
1) New Michelins and Alignment
2) Replace hood struts and pollen filters
3) Fit new carbon fiber pieces from Marcus (in transit)
4) Install CF/Alum 996 Turbo Gearshift Handle
5) Change Trans/Diff Fluid with Red Line
6) Re-spray front spoiler and Turbo S ducts
7) DETAIL, DETAIL, DETAIL

Whew, I guess I'm about half way done!

Great work Cincy!

Was it difficult to do the caliper repaint? Any details on what stuff you used / Method?
