Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

As for the trip, yes Herman deserves the four points of the compass. At plus I don't think there's 2,000km in the project cars front pads.

How about a short shake down to your place to pick up the wheel to more morning while its dry? I forgot how much I use the digital speed readout in Herman so I need to see the actual speedo here and the small wheel obscures it.

Probably good to remove struts and have rebuilt while you are tidying up top mounts (these possibly perished) and strut stops. Possibly good job when looking at any work in CVs and pad changes etc. I think it will ride a lot better after.
Watch the Fakey cup. I had some on my 968. Soft and heavy. Maybe D90 to keep Dave happy....

John. I'm pretty sure your leak is from blocked sunroof drains. This manifests itself as water puddling below rear seats then into the front seat area. Look it up on Rennlist. Lucky your ECU is under the other seat! Probably good to remove struts and have rebuilt while you are tidying up top mounts (these possibly perished) and strut stops.

I definitely need to do the bump stops. Whether the shocks warrant a rebuild comes down to their quality. I can't see any markings. With Herman I have a full RUF package of ARB, Strut Brace, HD Bilsteins and H&R Turbo springs. That made the rebuilding of shocks worthwhile (I had to make that decision on the fronts anyway). This car has some no name springs and no obvious brand shocks. However it still handles nicely for what it is. This is one of those budget decisions. If the shocks aren't knackered than I will limit myself to what's needed. The biggest spend here will be the interior. Once the seats and carpet are sorted, plus original style steering wheel refitted this will be a very nice place to be and I suspect it will still owe me less than $55k.

JMc - I have a carpet product that I swear by for cleaning linen carpets. The carpets in the 3.2 haad stains that I thought would never come out, and the carpets have come up like new.
We did Tim's 928 any they came up surprisingly well too.

I've borrowed Doug's OEM steering wheel and it's great. Centre and right rear reflectors changed out. Any average condition left rear indicators out there?

Hi John. If you're looking for trouble, trouble will find you.
Was letting you enjoy your honeymoon but if you're pining for those missing garage delights, BB2's VTEC could maybe still do with that quick look you wanted to have first?
