Caring For A 944 S1 For 3 Weeks (need some links)

[cab713]

One of my best friends since elementary school just left for a 3 week trip out of the country, and I've finally gotten the chance to clean up his 944. The paint is a bit flat, the interior needs a good cleaning, and there are several odds and ends that need attention. Looking for some direction on where to source the parts (used is acceptible).

rear view mirror - mount is on window, but metal arm that fit into in is broken. it's been epoxied before so a replacement is in order

steering wheel - wrap at the top of the 3 spoke has come undone. is it better to have it repaired or replaced? know anyone in atlanta, ga to repair?

rough idle - really rough idle at start when cold. smooths out after a few minutes. warm start idle is still rough for a few minutes, but not as rough as cold start. (never goes away completely)

any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated!

check vacuum -- for idle issues.

use clarks-garage as a reference for anything mechanical.

if you know what your doing -- you might want to ask about when the last time the timing belt was replaced.
