Late to the party but that's a Beaut! Quick question - so was that indeed the Nebula Green 622 paint code you ended up with? Could I trouble you for the paint codes for your bumpers and roof? I'm painting my 80 in that same color scheme (and hoping it comes out looking retro and not weird)...

I never knew green 3M would have hardness > glass either! Or did it just scratch the bronze tint?

You lic plate might confuse some into thinking you’re a math wiz! (Appreciate the DM - I’ll def be giving you a buzz sometime soon)

DC470 - Don't we all lol! For anyone else who is interested in the 924SE, here's a good watch. It's a very similar story to what TRDrew's find!

I’m so old I even forgot there was a 944! But now I remember and your folks were absolutely correct - the 924 was a VW w a Porsche badge. But the SE has the 944 engine right? I don’t want to completely hijack Andrew’s thread here but please feel free to update me privately when u do get her...

I just went down a little rabbit hole on the 924 SE…I never realized how few of those cars were imported. Very cool car indeed

There's so much here you need to start a Porsche 924 Build thread!

Great story! What condition were the Beemer bikes in....like did they turn over? Curious as to what those sold for - but also intrigued that those belonged to Nancy. I hope she rode them...adds to the story. I like how you said you were not going to do too much to Waffles, then have a couple...

Update for Man-A-Fre They haven't been in the San Fernando Valley (SoCal) for a while. They are now in Las Vegas. About Manafre - Landcruiser Parts - https://manafrelv.com/about-manafre/ They did great work for me.

Multimeter arrived and I got around to checking the amp draw this weekend. It was quite low (see pic). This was without the alarm turned on. When I turned on the alarm, the draw jumped up briefly, then dropped back down to approx the same draw (33mA). Reading up, it sounds like my previous...

Thanks - I just checked and the green light around the key does indeed time out after a few seconds of closing the door. I've got a multimeter on order and it'll be here Monday. I have a sneaky suspicion the drain might be from the factory alarm or perhaps my after market head unit. What is...

Yup...going to dig into the draw (hopefully this weekend). It's a regular sealed lead acid battery and I've got the battery tender on now.

I wonder what that battery charger does that my little battery tender doesn't? Too bad it doesn't have a quick connection plug like the Battery Tender does. If all goes according to plan, I'll have my LC in the garage after I clear out the parking area, currently occupied by my 2 motorcycles...
