I am seeking a friend or two that would be willing to assist me with some DIY work on my 2000 986S. I've got it booked in to Porsche for a couple of things that I'm pretty sure I could do myself if I had the knowledge and the tools (the tools are easier to acquire than the knowledge, it would seem). I would prefer to have someone on hand that has done it before, so they could point me in the right direction.

Some examples of things I'd like to do on my own include:

  • AOS
  • Brakes w/discs and calipers
  • exhaust mounts/brackets/bolts
  • air/oil filters
  • fuel filter

This list is not by any means comprehensive, and as my experience increases, I'll be more comfortable tackling larger projects, like replacing the top on my own. The rear window is cracked in 3 places, because I like to put the top down even when it's cold outside, and didn't do proper research before doing so. My bad. £264 GBP (about $435 USD) from a local installer, and I can get a new plastic window installed. Granted, I could probably justify replacing it with one of the "new" glass tops that came available in 2003, but I'm not prepared to pay for shipping from Switzerland.

Is there anyone nearby in the East Cambridgeshire area interested in a few free pints and a meal in exchange for assistance?
