Took the 911 out today to see if tight CV bolts have made a difference...

Too true, rear end silent as a lamb (or as much as a 73 911 can be).

Wish getting into 2nd was better, but have adjusted it to death.

On setting out, there were a few squeaks from the front (of course) so decided that must be the anti-roll bar in the rubber bushes. The squeaks went after 1/2 mile.

Stripped the drop links off and the bar arms and loosened the triangular covers off the body. They could be twisted by hand quite readily, so about right, but WD40'd them and then followed by some engine oil drops. Did the same to the poly-bushed drop link bushes and back together both sides.

Has been about 15 years since this lot had any TLC.
No rusty bolts, lovely, and touched-up some gravel rash on the inner wings with trusty Hammerite Smooth Black (gloss) same as originally applied in 1988 and still there!

Sometimes the Good Old Stuff is spot-on.

Thinking of doing some one day club events in the car alongside the Lola next year in the car.
