Once all the brackets came back from powder coating I decided it was false economy not to change the plastic supply/return pipes so those were ordered.
I then had a few lazy weeks cleaning underneath the front, fuel tank and areas no one will ever see, ensured all the PAS pipes and fittings were corrosion free and treated them with ACF50, I also removed all the plastic undertrays, again cleaned everything and ensured all the brake and A/C pipes were well protected.
Then it was a case of refitting everything and filling the coolant system with new Porsche spec antifreeze, couple of days running the car up to temp while still on stands and venting via the rads and the burp valve, I also added the third rad kit.
I bought the retro fit cruise kit from Porsche and installed that , however although my Foxwell NY520 will find certain locations to 'turn on cruise" I must still be missing something as no joy as yet, the car will have to go for a geo and AC regas so I'll ask DG Porsche to sort the programming.
Another change is to the wheels, I dug deep and ordered some Kerscher FX19's from Germany, Fuch reps, really nice quality and come with all the TuV paperwork. I will probably offer my recently refinished Lobsters for sale.
The car is currently minus bumper and bonnet, I had the paintshop round with the paint camera, several images were taken and then they came back with several spray out cards to get the bedt match to the wings, although its very close I expect the wings will need blending to be 100%
Cheers
