I have been converted as well, for mechanics tools - they seem to have the stuff I need and it works well. I run their version of the dremel and the right angle drill and their little tire inflator at the track, really good stuff.

The ratchet and 3/8 stubby impact sucked me in 😀

I love your Rennbow towel. I looked for my engine lid light socket, and I think it is missing, all there is there is the wiring and a 'socket'. So I think I need to order yet another part. I've spent sooo much on this car since purchase in Feb. I mean, to me, a lot of money. More than 1/2 purchase price. To PCar owners and collectors, chump change I'm sure. And I'm nowhere near finished....I need to learn to pace myself.

 

It's part #997.632.201.00 and was $5.89 from Sunset a few years ago.

 

Replaced both frunk struts
Put a non-smoker cap on the cigarette plug (missing when I bought the car)
Swapped the driver’s side mirror (I burned the paint when trying to remove old clear bra)

Simple but satisfying

 

Took a plastic pick and some adhesive remover to those hideous air bag decals, looks brand new after a little detail.

 

WOW, that’s the worst I’ve ever seen!

Sometimes you do a job and then wonder feel it was worth it...but you KNOW it was worth it.

 

Was that a swamp rat or a flood car it looks like weeds were growing???

 

Wow. Good work.
What were your temperatures running before you cleaned these?

 

Took off the bumper to clean the radiators, was easier to take apart than expected. Radiators weren’t too bad, but satisfying before and after

 

...Are actually really good. I went for a night drive for the first time in my 996, 1st time since the upgrade and I'm so pleased with the headlights output and aim. I had been worried that upgrading the reflectors would then require aiming the lights but turns out that step is not needed. The lights are bright 🌞🌞 🌞🌞🌞. Here's a link to the product. I chose the basic 4300k lights, they are very natural, not white or blue. https://retrofitlab.com/collections/...xenon-retrofit

Definitively well with the price. I purchased new h7 hibeams as well, from a different source.
If you do upgrade a reflector, from any seller, when you unscrew the 2 screws that have rubber spacers, count the rotations and match when installing. Don't torque the screws in or you will struggle to aim.

 

^I wish I had followed the number of turns advice. My aim on one is way off. I’ll just have to fiddle with it until it’s proper. The lights work great, though!!

 

Cleaned up the seat belt buckle receptacles. Used a sample sheet of red vinyl wrap. The red plastic was faded to the pink color of Bazooka Joe bubble gum. Sanded a little and took an Exacto to trim. I used a hook nose pick to keep the piece in place. 20 minutes total. Spent 2 years thinking of a durable enough DIY solution. So there’s that.



Sample red wrap and an Exacto

 

let us know how long it lasts! Definitely cheaper than buying new. I wrapped mine in some sweet German flag stitched leather from jf customs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/23457737392...mis&media=COPY

 

Used a bunch of steam, Goo Gone, and old hotel plastic key to remove who knows how old film from my C4S headlamps.

 

Headlight looks great.
Seems like the film may have done a good job of protecting the headlight from UV damage.
