I got nothing done this weekend. My dad and I went to down to Dinan in Alabama for cars and coffee. While everyone was on the tour, I snuck my car over to the entrance and snapped a pic. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr The 944 is with my dad for the next few weeks so he can work though a...

For sure... I got home from work the other day and mentioned to my wife that the car brought back a ton of memories. I started telling her a story..... remembered how it ended.... and just stopped talking.... You know, old girlfriend stuff...

Quick update... I finished the detail on the 944 late last week. Its not perfect but it looks pretty good. Saturday the whole family was still out of town so I got up early and took it cars and coffee and people seemed to love it. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr My dad met me in the e24...

I finished off the polishing over the weekend, I am fighting a little head cold so I am moving slow. Since I am done with buffers, I reattached the 944 badge. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I thought I was going to have to replace this sticker on the rear...

Back at it last night. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I finished up the compounding stage and went after some rough spots. I could probably wet sand and make it look better but I am okay getting it 90% there and just driving the hell out of it. They dont hand out awards at cars and...

This was just a DA, microfiber pad and Meguiars 105 compound. I havent polished it yet but Ill use Sonex Perfect Finish and a yellow foam pad.

You're telling me..... They are growing way too fast. I got a little time in the garage to work on the 944 after the kiddos went to bed. I started by taping up the trim. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Some idiot(17 year old me probably) didn't have the right grommets for the hood emblem...

Busy memorial day weekend... Friday I was off work, so I dropped the kids off for their last day of school and met a buddy for coffee in a trendy area near my house. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr The 944 received a ton of attention in a neighborhood full of grey scale Teslas, Land...

After 7 months, I was able to drive the 944 home. First on the list was a wash and quick clean up. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr As you may know, I love watches and I feel like the 944 looks good with a little race livery on it so I bought these decals. I have had them for probably 5...

I was on the road for a couple off weeks working an airshow, but while I was gone my dad has been plugging away on the 944. The brakes and clutch are working great. The ac system has been flushed and converted to r134, and we put in a new radio. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Yesterday, I...

Got it out for a short drive this weekend. The suspension settled a little bit, but I still plan on lowering it. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I am really happy with the new interior and Momo wheel. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Brakes are...

I have them on my daily 328 wagon, the e24, and now the 944. I have been fairly happy with them and my local shop can usually get them same day.

I like the look but they are narrow and 15's. I am going to keep them and restore them though.

I have had really good luck with the Nuvite stuff. I used to polish my dads plane with it. The stock wheels?

I did a little polishing on the wheels over the last couple of nights. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr They arent perfect but they cleaned up pretty nice. Some day I might sand them down and give them a full polish. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr
