Since the purchase of this Porsche, the one repair I have been dreading is dealing with the sagging door on the driver’s side. Yet this is also the one issue that I am greeted with every time I open and close the door. My habit of pulling up on the door when closing even became muscle memory, applying the same Read More …
Searching through the online forums, the most common statement associated with a leaking sunroof is a worn sunroof seal. This sounds logical, as when you do not want water leaking, improve the seal. This is a great idea, although the sunroof seal is not meant to prevent all moisture from passing through, that is why the sunroof frame has four Read More …
Rebuilding the alternator myself I was given the opportunity to select high quality bearings. Not all bearings are the same and that becomes clear when re-manufactured alternators fail faster than the one that came with of the car. In fact, even going with the exact same bearings as the ones coming out may not be the correct either. The large Read More …
With the epoxy floor completed it came time to clean up the rest of the garage before I can really get to work on the 968. As mentioned in the Epoxy Floor Application, I did not paint the curbs with the epoxy paint as they were too rough and not recommended by Ucoat-it. The plan was to have them painted Read More …
What an adventure it has been. It was sometime in late 2016/early 2017 that I found out about Porsche Rennsport Reunion. At that time I had most of the 968 interior pulled out, wiring almost patched up, and the cooling system on its way out. The next Rennsport Reunion was to occur at the end of summer in 2018, which Read More …
The Porsche 968 lives again after not running for almost 2 years! After putting in 31 hours of work in the last week I have finally got the 968 running. This is a big milestone bringing me closer to Rennsport 2018. The first couple seconds of running was painful as the dry lifters were making a horrible sound of imminent Read More …
Its been a while since I have posted any progress on the site so I decided to do a quick video update. Lots of progress has occurred which will be posted in detail on the site once the 968 is running. For now, watch this video and I promise more detailed articles will come. The current goal is to get Read More …
The time came to finally remove that pesky heater core that has been leaking onto the carpet. I found a fairly detailed write up for the core removal without the removal of the entire dash. Heater Core Removal Instructions The procedure called for the removal of the glove box to allow for room to slide the core out. I feared that Read More …
One of the common issues that can cause headaches with the 968, and consequently the 944, are faulty electrical switches. The most common ones seem to be the window switches as they happen to be the ones that are most often used, although other less used switches cause problems as well. Owners have reported that cleaning materials seeping into the Read More …
