so haven't managed to do much recently however the good news is engine is in and running or should I say idling nicely. Now the bad news I have copius amounts of smoke on overrun/lift off and running extremely rich not sure if the two are connected now the car was an unknown quantity and the engine came out because of the oil leaks however we done the top end while it was out maybe should have had a look at the piston rings

So its been a slow burner however made a bit of progress lately got the clutch working stripped an rebuilt the slave cylinder so now drives , When I got the car the rev counter and speedo were goosed speedo turned out to be the drive cable so that's been replaced it works of the cap that goes on the stub cant quite get the centre cap on the wheel to sit flush however think it will fit with a bit of tinkering.
So a new set of black mats purchased, my grey leather rear seats from a 968 have been dyed black got the kit from furniture clinic which I have been impressed with and delighted with the finish going to give the steering wheel a going over as well so now have most of the electrics working on the interior my caymen seats are wired in and working interior now a good place to be :thumb:

Hoping to get it to the painters in about 6 weeks so started a bit of prep de-badging, the sills had been hand painted silver and looked a bit wavy in places so decided to strip the paint and see what lurked below all in all not bad at all other than the chunk of filler at one end which will be chopped out.
not sure at this stage if the side protectors will go back on
waiting on the rear calipers coming back from the powder coaters also had to get the bleed nipples drilled out which were seized solid have also loosened the bolts on the rear shocks (That was fun)ready to to swap them out

Same here but I am working on the 944 to get it ready to go out and play.
A bit of a frustrating day went to fit the short shift kit from only944 nice little bit of kit however cant get the linkage to slip of the rod at A in the pic so will leave it soaking this week and maybe try a bit of heat next weekend
