What are your winter plans for your 924/931?
I plan to (in no particular order):
Fix battery tray
Fix radiator leak
Install radio
Replace control arm bushings
Replace struts
Replace ball joints
Replace tie rod ends
Reattach hatch glass
Adjust e-brake
Maybe fabricate strut brace
I doubt I'll get to even half of the stuff, but it's worth a try. _________________ Rob

Finish the rebuilding of my engine. That will take huge amount of time. But we have a long winter here in sweden. Also some repaint changing springs front/rear, install my new new brakes rebuild calipers and so on would be nice. I have almost all the parts on my shelf. Just need some time in the garage. Wich is hard to find nowdays. (studying my a** of ) _________________ 1980 924 Turbo

1. install the 17" boxter/911 weels
2. get all the angles and alignments to specs
3. replace rear bearings and tighten the front ones
4. buy&replace the steering shaft
5. lower the rear so the car sits perfectly level
6. buy and install 931 engine,clutch,torgue-tube and try to use a NA gearbox
7. install a front mounted intercooler and make it as effective as i can
8. install a manual boost controler and upp the pressure to 0.8 bar

With some luck, all I'll be doing is putting on the winter tires-flat-wheels and driving it until spring - at which time I'll be swapping back to the rest-of-year tires-Fuchs-wheels and driving it some more.
-But I'm sure something will pop up and need attention. _________________ "..it's made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff."
