Since PA has been hit with the 20*F temps for a while now and
snow is on the ground. It's been slow progress. My kerosene heater
is having a hard time keeping up. I'm also waiting for my electrician
to be available to run a dedicated line for my new compressor.
So doing some other jobs.
Obtained some "past it" Fuchs to roll the car around for when
the weather breaks and commence with the sandblasting.
Also working on front struts. They are renewed and painted.
Proceeding with placing new bearings in the 911 hubs so I can
have the front suspension done and ready to bolt in.
Have some minor work to do on the six engine as well.
I'll update accordingly.
Cheers!

The weather and electrician have conspired against Dion making progress. To my benefit as he helped me fish the wiring harness and hang the dash in my car yesterday. Thanks D! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I guess it pays to have proper heat in the garage

Your Bilsteins are making me green with envy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Our cold can't rival yours but we're in the 30s, which is uncomfortable enough.
I got a 220V electric heater and put in on a roll around stand. I just point at where I'm working and it makes all the difference.

Keep up the great work!

Baked the hubs at 250*F for 25 minutes to coax the
races out.

New ball joints installed. Pay attention to the type of pinch bolt
you have. Torque slowly. Some have reported snapping but must have
"drawn" the bolt through with nut instead of hammering in flush first.

Front calipers will be sent to PMB soon.
Time to get back to the chassis rust repair.

Nothing like a little brake and suspension porn on a Sunday evening!
Looking good, Dion.

Some garage time this afternoon.
Started prepping trunk area. Removed a chunk of JB weld from trunk I patched
years ago. Needless to say hole enlarged. Learned my lesson. So cut out around it.
This will get a patch.

Also some body filler escaped proper contouring from way back in 2004.
Popped it off to find a strange upward dent. No idea how
that would ever happen since it behind the rubber cap of bumper top.
So hammered it back to more appropriate shape.

Curious? Anyone have a "proper" hole on right side of rear of car near bumper mounts?
Looks like it's a mirror placement for tow eye bolt on left minus the tube and bracing.
