Thank you! I will enjoy it!! Yes, understood about the Continental radios, but my understanding is that it will work in my car with the base stereo without any adapters. If not, I will just go ahead and do the double-din unit, they really are not much more expensive but will require more effort to ...

Got my car today! Finally, after a long wait for parts and a tech to come back after a holiday vacation. Drove 50 miles or so around suburban Chicago today and had a blast. Too bad the roads here suck. Not much better in Ohio though. Everything works as expected, I now have a new IMS bearing (LN re...

But all the work is done and just waiting for it to get cleaned up. Will post some pictures once I actually ...

Welcome. Enjoy the insanity. If you have leather in the car to repair, then it wasn't a total stripper. The base seats for the MkI was vinyl :o Hmmm - interesting. I thought that the base interior was "partial leather" but I guess not. Oddly my frunk sticker shows no options, but also doe...

Thank you for letting me join the club! I figured it would be OK when I saw that the main rule is to "not be a dick". Possibly I can handle that... Also learned why leche is bad in a Mexican strip club (who knew?)... About me - longtime car enthusiast but this is my first Porsche. Not sure...
