Looking good. Did you do it yourself? What kind of paint did you use?

Yeah I used 2 K. Was quite hard getting a good finish in a dusty garage but I got there in the end thanks to plenty of wet and dry, trizact pad and 3M compound. Ended up doing it all twice as there was too many imperfections the first time. Got there in the end though and the finish is pretty much perfect.

Who are you getting to re-index your torsion bars Rich?

Not sure yet, got to get the money first. Was probably thinking bubble and kick as they are the nearest! But I'm not sure yet. Maybe I would rather use somebody with loads of experience setting these cars up. Any recommendations? I was thinking about doing it myself at one point...........

I've seen many posts regarding re-indexing torsion bars on 4x4 forums but not much with pics and how to's on Porsche forums... I need mine doing as it's driving me nuts now and I haven't got time to tackle it, or I need to make time and then post a comprehensive how to myself :wink:

Iv heard the bar needs 2 come out off the housing and back in again, so requires the whole back axle droping below the car. Or a hole been made in the lower rear 1/4, have seen some were the hole is then plugged with a wheel center cap. But I'm sure with some creative you could make something 2 look factory and keep the sills shape, or just hide the hole behind your rocker covers?

yeah it just needs to be dropped low enough to slide them out. That i can do, its just a case of i'm scared of shearing any seized bolts is the main thing.
This site has the easy way to do it, he reckons you don't have to remove as much as is believed. This is what i've been looking at, plus the clarks garage one.
