Does he have to have influence to be an influencer?

Just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character.

Don't let on that I'm just your secondary login David.

Yeah, really pleased! I couldn’t save the engine cover, though, that’s going to need a respray or replacement at some point. I think the previous owner tried to wet sand it.

I’ll have a go at the interior soon, but I now remember why I don’t do this very often.

Good work
How does it look upon closer inspection, panel gaps etc ok?

Panel gaps are all fine. It’s had paint in a couple of places (badly in one area), there’s a lot of stone chips (it’s 20 years old after all), a few nicks and scratches, the engine cover is fucked, and there’s the scar on the back bumper that’s starting to flake.

Ooooh!

Does it gleam, does it glisten, does it......allure....


Very nice

Tried and failed to adjust the handbrake. I can’t find the adjuster in the drum when looking through the holes. What I can see doesn’t look like the pictures say it should be at all. I need to get the disc/drum off but I don’t have an impact driver to get the grub screw out.

Oh, and the coilovers are BC Racing BR Series intended for a 996 Turbo.

In my 25years of driving ive never been able to adjust a handbrake through that little hole when the cars on the floor

You can never see anything - it’s all done by feel.

Imagine a cog with the gear teeth facing you. Stick a small flat blade in the home and lever it up/ down (not sure which tightens) to index the gear round. Remove and insert screwdriver again and repeat. You can’t see fook hall.
