I got started on the Porsche this weekend. Noting major, but I installed the tow bar bracket on the front of the vehicle. This is for when I get things closer, I can tow it to a shop for any additional repairs I want done by a professional. I also got the fiberglass rear truck lid installed with the new hinge pivot points, and I removed the torsion bar system. I still need to install the gas struts to lift it, so the project is not complete, but its close. I also did some more rust removal in the engine compartment. After I do the gas strut installation I’ll probably be able to put a first coat of paint on all the rust repair and things will start looking good again. It already looks a lot better with the trunk lid installed again even though its not yet painted.

Besides those few items, I did get a lot of work done preparing the new batteries. I removed all the junk accessories that were on the Renault pack, and I also started preparing the controller for a water cooling kit that I’m going to install. Water cooling kit will probably be my next project after I finish the gas struts.

Just exactly like last year, I had time off from Christmas to New Years and I planned to work on the car, and I was sick the entire time. I looked at all my old post, and its hard to believe it has been a year since I completed all that work. I’m right back looking at the same car as last January. Hopefully this time I’ll get more done before I get busy at my real job. Now that I have all the parts and I’m doing a simpler project, it should be doable. There is a Porsche club meeting in May and also in October that I’d like to take the car to, so lets hope I’m done and able to take it to both.
