My brakes are installed, adjusted, and bled! New master cylinder is in place. (19mm unit to go with the 911SC front brakes)

Deck lids are somewhat in place, so we can roll it around in the shop and have it look like a car again.

The front bumper now has a huge hole in it...

While I was working on the brakes I came across an issue of the rotor acting warped.

It didn't seem warped unless it was on the car, installed properly.


My bud at www.pmbperformance.com gave me a couple of pointers and got me headed in the right direction; the brakes are all installed now and working properly.

thanks again, Eric!

care to share the pointer or are they "secrets" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have a rub on one spot on the rotor and it's new or turned, along with rebuilt PMB v calipers. I can adjust the caliper for more clearance but don't think that's the proper fix plus I don't have that type of caliper...

you see how I've got the rotor mounted backwards? I was testing with the dial indicator how far out of whack my rotor was... .009"

I turned it around, and there was some interference where the welds on the hubs were for the stud reinforcement. The welds were causing my rotors to not seat properly, and made it scuff.

removing spot welds and peeling off that 76 bumper-ness; whatever that part is called where the bumper cover hangs onto the body.

Look at the previous owner's artwork... pleh.

Yes, the hammer is holding the bumper on. Just the hammer, gravity, the front valance, and that @#$%# bondo. =o)

Dude I would seriously consider replacing that front corner. How far back does the damage go? Look like the fender has a good 1/2" there in front. I know you have a parts car. How is that piece on it?

The one on the parts car is in a whole lot better condition than that one. Since I've got the parts car there... I'm going to go ahead and pound on this one a little. I am sure I can't screw it up more than the PO did. . .

and when it doesn't turn out right, I've got the part... out in a field... behind a bunch of other cars... on the parts car.

got a little done on the car today. Changed the clutch cable, hooked up the speedometer cable, ran vacuum/boost lines from the back of the car to the front of the car for the ECU and the fuel pressure regulator, ran a power wire from the back of the car to the front of the car, mounted the radiator, and called it good for the day.

oh, I also finished installing all of the new fuel lines under the fuel tank, and installed the fuel tank. I had to remove the roof and both deck lids to get to the areas I was working.

... and the back pad to fish the lines through the center tunnel... working on finding pictures for the day (If I have any)

My wife got a picture of my dad and I getting the car ready to push back into the shop.

It was such a nice day today that I rolled the car out to work on it.
