Procrastinating Progress

Too much on my plate so I find the most ridiculous ways of procrastinating. I've got as far as rebuilding the innerds of the horn trigger, mounting a genuine 356 Porsche crest in the centre pad, (I flattened it), & got the leather around the steering wheel. I haven't felt like stiching so I plopped on some new, (reconditioned 944 rims), wheels & tires onto the six. I used the calculator here on "the world" & mounted 215s in the front & 225s in the back. When I first bought the six, "Sir Andy" told me I needed wheel spacers up front & I agreed. So instead of stiching my steering wheel cover I poped off my calipers, undid the spacers from them, hammered out the old studs using a nut to protect them & hammered in new, longer welmeister studs. Put it back together, packed in new grease & added 21mm 944 spacers on top of the stock ones that are bolted to the rotors. I like the wide look & so does the car. Cheap Falken tires but she feels/rides great. I call that useful, instead of useless, procrastination biggrin.gif . Drove both cars today, washed them both as well. I lost 4lbs in that 90 degree heat washing. Left front rotor on the four is locking up. If I take it apart, clean & lube it maybe I'll get lucky. Otherwise, I burned up a rotor today headbang.gif . We'll see.
