“Repaired” the worn leather on my e-brake with Colourlock

Projekt EPiK

I was just looking at the ColourLock products on ebay, too do some Savannah Beige color change and repair. Was it fairly easy to use? Looks great

Easy to use, match is great - I really can't say enough about the product, except for me, the leather dye was ever so slightly off of the aged Graphite Grey in my car, but not by much. You can blend it pretty well.

This ☝️
It’s easy to use and I’ve had great results.
I watched videos from the Colourlock reps and followed their advice.
Proper cleaning /prep and lots of light coats.

I tried installing Numeric pedals. After 2 hours of trying to get my gas back pedal together, I gave up. For reseaons I can’t figure out I just can’t get the top tab to click back together. I don’t know if this will take a trip to my Indy or not. I should have just kept the RUF pedals in.

Dropped the engine to do some repairs/preventative maintenance.

outstanding! Have you dropped engine before?

@11NEUN11 nice, how long did it take?

My first engine drop on the 964 C4 spanned 3 days, with a good chunk spent trying to get the lateral diff out. I feel like a 996 c2 would be a lot easier.

i had a 1967 Kellison Dune buggy. VWs have similar setup but this was my first Porsche engine drop. I took my time and worked on it a little bit at a time over a week.

Apparently the Quickjacks provided enough clearance for the removal? I would be interested in how you gained the clearance beyond the supplied rubber blocks if additional clearance was required.

Yep, me too! Please take a pic of the side so I can see what you have their to raise the car.

And please measure from the ground to the chassis, interested in seeing the number...

Quickjack with both sets of blocks and a DIY set of lifting pucks provided enough clearance for me to drop the engine with a low profile long reach jack with a crossbeam.

Gave him his first oil change under my ownership. The Jack point jack stands worked great, just took some fiddling the first time.

I do not use the rubber blocks, instead I use the SUV adapters. Hopefully these are the pics you are looking for to see how I was able to lower my engine.
