Installed new motor mounts from PRG. Aside from two unscheduled side trips for an 18mm deep socket I somehow didn’t already have and longer bolts because the supplier accidentally supplied the wrong bits, this was a very easy and gratifying job. Hoping to do the transmission mount tomorrow or over the weekend at the latest.
Did you first sand and polish them first? Until 1993 France required all cars to have yellow headlight!
No, just cleaned them and laid down the vinyl. I really can’t see them staying yellow for long, and I should hopefully have more free time over the winter when the kids sports are all done (the jokes we tell ourselves!) to refinish them properly.
Replaced the old faded windshield cowl and gasket.
First I applied a coat of Gtechniq C4
I had to do the same.. on mine the plastic broke and allowed one of the edges to pop up higher than the hood.. It broke right where the bolts are under the covers in the corners.. gotta love 20 year old plastic..
While @De Jeeper was setting personal bests on the 12 turn NJMP Thunderbolt track I was doing the same at their 10 turn Lightning course.
3.2 secs better than a year ago.
Not finished with the project yet . . . but I’m in the process of painting and installing Variel headlight covers for my 996 to give them the 997 round headlight appearance.
Still tweaking the final color. I’ve got a unique Paint to Sample color to match.
The covers have not been installed on the car yet. They are just resting on top of the headlight lenses. They will sit flush once installed.
