Father's Day Projects
Well, as my father's day present, my wife and kids gave me an afternoon to play in the garage. I had some P-car stuff I wanted to get done, so I replaced these:
I've never seen a hardback seat split like this one did, maybe the PO was a little rough getting in and out?
I also installed the 997 GT3 shifter I bought after the recommendation from Kevin and others. It makes for a fantastic upgrade. *MUCH* better shifting, although I'm having to re-learn a little how to drive
After dinner, I decided to see what that gawd-awful squeek was in my dash, so I started a panel at a time to see if I could isolate it. Starting with the defroster vents I'd remove a part then test....remove a part, then test.
At the moment, I've removed the defroster panels, side vents, a-pillars, and as it was getting dark, removed the instrument pod. I don't know if the instrument pod is the culprit, as I haven't driven it yet, but there's not a lot more I'm willing to take apart!
While it's all the way apart, I decided to condition the crap out of all of the leather I could get to, so if nothing else, maybe that will help as well.
Hope all the other Fathers got what they wanted.

I'm surprised you found the time to do these projects! What, with the battery project and all?
