Removed door panels and door locks, cleaned and lubed them - now have two doors that shut first time and lock/unlock on the key. Both locks were jammed with old grease and dirt.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
With the promise of good weather we spontaneously went to Conwy in north Wales, Llandudno, Bodnant Gardens and over the hills through slate country back home over 2 days.
Fabulous.
Over the hills for 30 mins without anyone in front of me or boy-racers behind out to prove something.
No pot holes in these parts of Wales....
We were of course in the Boxster! So warm we had the A/C on, first time since I fitted new rads etc, still works.
Got a Pass-Out for Saturday so going to Loton Park in the 911 to see some hill climbing.

Nice drive out Graham 
I just annoyed the wife by blocking the hall
Nothing to see here, just move along...

It was indeed Wales glowing at its best.
Just how you have survived having those boxes, there, for more than 5 mins beats me.
I would be dead by now.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Yes, glorious day down here too, so took the 911 solo to my Motor club's own hill climb track to see the car at the Members Meeting.
Some great stuff there, really nice to chat to my motorsport mates, the season starts!
911 ran fantastic, forgotten just how fast it is esp when overtaking on a motorway. No wheel wobble at 70 ish

Bought a kettle.
Katharine fancied something fun for the summer so viewed a few and agreed on this 986
Well maintained with FSH in Midnight Blue to match the 993, his and hers so to speak

Yes hopefully some cheap fun
Viewed a few and this one was relatively local. Full history, 73k and had a fair bit done and a going over by a respected local specialist, clutch and seal done- few little dinks and scratches but a tidy car all round.
