Brakes were totally frozen so I had them completely cleaned, bead blasted and rebuilt by my friend Aaron at Flat Six in Bloomington, MN - a great porsche mechanic who has worked on my other cars. He found rust at the outer edge of the pistons - between the piston and caliper housing. I bought the rebuild kit from PIM. I reinstalled the brakes and bled the lines with a firm pedal now. I am afraid to try to start the engine again in fear that I will be frustrated by a no-start condition.

The hub I got from Graham Pantera does not, in fact, fit over my stock shaft (it had the stock wheel on it, it must be stock, plus everything on the car is stock). They said use a bigger hammer, not too helpful. If anyone knows a reputable vendor for a momo wheel hub for a stock shaft I'd be interested.

The wheel and seats are really the next stage, after a good rain to wash off the winter salt I should have the car on the road for the first time.
