exhaust cross over fiberglass insulation was my finest contribution

lately done ? not much , runs too good, burning out the 1/2 tank of 6 month old gas, to fill the tank with non-ethanol and store for awhile. Sea foam is amazing btw

but getting primed ( nyuk nyuk nyuk ) to re-paint some fire / heat damage to the rear corner. House fire melted all the tail lights , scorched one tire and turned some 045 White to a sickly pink, delaminated the window film. oh well better outcome than my sweet sweet 944 that melted in the driveway.

oh Yeah the rear side window molding also charred ;
tip ; to remove a rear window, un-do the 20odd nuts around it and WARM the adhesive on perimeter all around, then pry off easy does it, working around in stages. That adhesive is very gunky so bring gloves. Apologies to Pick&pull for the 2 learning lessons that shattered before I learned all the secrets; it wasnt like I was just breaking glass like the rest of the lowlifes filtering around the yard. You weren't going to sell them anyway and I paid for the 3rd


Looking into replaceing the window belt mold / weather strip. The fronts moldings are apparently still dealer item ($34 online) while the rear/passenger door are NLA.
I suspect the fronts can be cut down to fit the back doors , with some deft dremel & razor work. Will post whne I have something useful to report

Also scheming up how to weld spare gen2 seat tracks onto my gen2 seats, to relocate the seat backward a few inches, to gain lank leg room.
