I see you have the same transaxle water-cooled problem I have:sombrero: The 911 just never really did it for me.
I have the 951 that was my track toy, a 928S4 that was my childhood dream and my CTT tow rig :coffee drink: Just need a bigger garage now.

The last two days I've been converting an MV to a Poptop for Scott.
This will turn out to be a sweet van. We are doing the floor, custom painted bits like Blu.o, roof racks, lift, silver carbon fiber vinyl upper bed boards with color matched trim, trans cooler, window tint, etc.
I'll post pictures when it's all done!

In related news, I'm almost finished with a new build for a client that you guys might be interested in.
It's a similar van to my "Blu.o" project. But a 2002 Eurovan MV that I've converted to a Poptop Weekender, added roof racks, new 3 window top, vinyl flooring. Color matched the seat bases, bed supports, curtain rods, upper bed frames, silver carbon fiber vinyl wrapped ceiling/bed boards, trans cooler, lift, etc.
Couple of pictures from the van that will be finished tomorrow.

Just finished the Blue MV to Weekender conversion.(not to be confused with my own blue van)
This van was a tintop 4 days ago!!
It's now a full custom Weekender with rear AC and auto climate control! No factory Weekender has those.
The top has fresh paint, 60" Yakima tracks, gas assist lift struts and H-bar to make lifting it with heavy loads easy, 3 window tent, silver carbon fiber bed/ceiling boards with matching factory Techno Blue metallic trim.
Other matching Techno blue metallic bits include the front seat bases, bed supports, table leg, curtain rods.
The carpeted floor was replaced with grey vinyl.
Transmission cooler and lift go on today!

Yeah, I figured I needed to put my own mark on the vans I was building for people.:coffeedrink:
So that is my new logo! The decal is all reflective and under the clear coat to make it durable.

Just happened to be sitting in the Eurovan on a hot sunny day and was curious how well the ceramic window tint was working.
Took a temp reading of the grey plastic at the dash under the windshield, at the door that has the window rolled down, and at the back where the ceramic tint is blocking the sun.
Here are the results.
Dash with sun shining through the windscreen (fwiw, van has been parked an hour with both front windows down and slider open on the shady side)
Driver's door with the window down
Just behind the driver's seat where the sun is shining through the ceramic tint!

Thanks for posting. I spoke to the tint shop this week about an appointment and got a quote...guess I'll feel like the extra $ is worth it now!

Congrats on the forum. Wish I had a van to put a sticker on.
