The 1994 Speed Yellow 968 Cabriolet is resting comfortably in my garage!
Picked it up Friday afternoon in MI and promptly drove back that night. Stopped in Clearfield, PA for Friday night and was home in Doylestown, PA, by 9:30 Sat morning!
What a relaxing drive! The car is great!
Since getting home Saturday, I have already swapped out the turn signals and bumperettes for the ROW versions, installed my RSB exhaust tip, and updated my airbox mounts to eliminate the stupid rubber press fit thingy! I also fixed the batwing which was "torn" from the passenger's side by the previous owner. I now just need to remove the paint marks from the parking lot concrete stop.
Washed her for the first time on Sunday. I hope to remove the seats this weekend and give the interior a thorough vacuuming. Did I mention the car is great?! It is very smooth and very comfortable to drive. I hope to have it registered tomorrow so I can enjoy some top down drives! (Right now I have the MI temp transit tag in the rear window- if I put the top down, the car has no identification!).
I'll snap some photos. The car looks really good.
I also have my 993 on its way to the machinist. As soon as I get that back, I can begin that mod.
There really isn't too much to address:
1) May have to adjust the PS belt- exhibits a little whine initially but goes away quickly when it warms up.
2) Rear shocks are original and need to be replaced. Might have to do the fronts too.
3) Car pulls a little to the right- not major, but will need to have this looked at. There have been no accidents so no worries there.
4) I have to pull the undertray off- there is evidence of two small leaks- one near the PS pump and one on the other side. I see no evidence that these are current issues and maybe they are remnants from previous things. Once I get the batwing off, I will clean up the areas and monitor for continuing leaks.
5) Car has an aftermarket radar system- I need to remove that because the original owner had some of the switch covers bastardized. Previous owner never worried about it so he left the switch covers as is.
6) Car also has an old keyless entry system installed. I will remove this one and install the new one with the "switchblade" remotes.
7) There are some very minor interior cosmetic issues that I will take care of as well. I'll be placing an order with Sunset soon!
That's pretty much it!
So who wants buy my coupe?! Contact me and you'll get the deal of a lifetime! 4 cars with a 2 car garage is not conducive to healthy living!!!!! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
