Carpet Respray

Used COLORBONDS Carpet Re finisher and the carpet looks close to new!

Need New Alternator Bushings

The Current Alternator Brackets are going to shit, and new ones are not manufactured, nor is it easy at all to find any used alternator brackets. The brackets will need to be replaced soon before the Alternator decides to fall off!

Muffler Fixed

The Muffler ended up falling half off and dragging on my way back from Tom cooper's place. Had to stop in Fremont and Tom came to help me out and get it back on temporarily to get back home. I took it down to my local mechanic a few days later and they welded it back on, as well as the tip.

New Clutch Installed

In July, with the help of Tom Cooper, Stan Hoppe, and Don Hook from the 924board, a brand new Clutch was successfully installed!

Muffler Rattle and Timing Belt Squeak

So recently there has been a rather annoying rattling sound when driving around. Mostly only after starting from 1st gear, giving power. Today I will get under there and take a look at it. May just need some adjusting.

On another note, the Timing Belt has been squeaking squealing AGAIN. This is EXTREMELY annoying. I have added a lot of belt dressing to it, but it has still squealed. However today it seems to be doing just fine. I will get down to business with this. May just need some tightening.

Seat Cover Patches Complete

Picked up my Seat Covers today and the Porsche Crest Patches look fantastic sewn on. Pictures soon!

New Clutch

Time for a new Clutch...

I ordered a new Clutch Kit with the Guide Tube for the Bearings. I also ordered a new Horn, and a Clutch Adjuster.

Now I must wait for these parts to arrive, so that I may take the car down to Springfield where Stan will let me use his lift. A few others including Tom Cooper, and Dan Hook from Omaha (and the 924.org forums) will help out!
