Wrighteou5 Posted 24October, 2017 Report Share Posted 24October, 2017 Hi All,Been loitering here for a while with a "i will have one soon", finally found her and made her mine. Been through 3 numberplates already (club / registered / personal) and tried a set of 996 wheels which i cannot get over the front hubs (will be for sale shortly), other than that a CD player change and i am good for the minute Any tips on best products to keep her in tip top condition / places to buy the best small parts would be hugely appreciated (needs a few tiny cosmetic touchers on the interior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH1 Posted 26October, 2017 Report Share Posted 26October, 2017 I would black out the front orange signal lights. Gives it a much more modern look. I also completely made me rear lights red, looks way better. Just my opinion though. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH1 Posted 26October, 2017 Report Share Posted 26October, 2017 Can't recall what is called but you can get it in supercheap. It's not meant for road use only off road use. What i did was firstly tape up the light lens with clear packaging tape and then sprayed it. This way is completely reversible, I'll simply peel the packaging tape off if need be. The lights still flash orange for inficators and white for reverse. Had it on for many years now, never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighteou5 Posted 15November, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 15November, 2017 Having a small issue with my drivers side wiper guys wondering if someone can help. The ball hinge on the wiper frame keeps popping out of the ball socket on the short connecting rod which attaches to the wiper, anytime the wipers are used. Any advice on how this can be fixed without simply replacing the short connecting rod? I know it's not a huge job but wondered if there was a quick fix while the part ships. Obviously can just glue it or pop a screw in as the hinge still needs to rotateAny help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d only considered a screw which I knew wouldn’t work but bolt and washer would do the trick nicely I recon. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighteou5 Posted 22November, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 22November, 2017 Hi All, Another question, any chance anyone knows the best place in Melbourne to have my car's AC regased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzJustin Posted 27November, 2017 Report Share Posted 27November, 2017 Congrats on your purchase. You should have lots of fun in it! You could give Hartech or NineAuto a call (I assume they're still around) and they might be able to recommend a Porsche experienced AC workshop.
