26 years and never turned a crank! Porshe 928

[beach bum]

This does not look too bad. I bet it would turn a few heads at a trackday, both by its looks and its sound.

Just to bring those of you kind enough to show an interest in this topic full circle, I sold the car to a very nice gentleman from Leeds who is planning to bring the best of mine and his 928 together ( My body definitely! as it's better than his!!)

So thanks to all of you who offered such words of encouragement, "he must have balls like space hoppers" was a particular favorite!

Cheers

Well done for attempting it in the first place, you a proper nutcase and I'm looking forward to finding a 928 of mine own in the next couple of years

Excellent news, pleasing to know that it'll go to creating something lovely rather than being pushed into a lake.

I do believe all it needs is an orange stripe and away you go!!

That looks great!

Well done. Does the man from Leeds know that he has to post on here?

Yes, I want to see how this turns out.

Hi All

Is anybody interested in continuing this thread which I have just picked up on ?

I bought a 928 as a resto project a couple of months ago and can contribute in what I hope would be in an amusing fashion.
A previous contributor is ID'd as - the car behind is a TVR - well my previous was a TVR which I used mostly to go places to buy bits to keep it on the road and I lost lots of money on it. One hopes the pundits are right and this 928 is an ascending classic. It is -
1984 928 S2 manual in white bought as a non runner but approaching MOT readiness.

My doctor advises that I should keep mentally agile and do Times X word and sudoku etc - not really my bag but a 928 with electrical problems and a wiring diagram from Dr ING h c F Porsche is an answer to the above.

I like the American advert line - If you want to go any faster than this you will need a flight attendant -

And I wish you the very best of luck with your endeavours!!!!! ;-)

I restored a 1981 928S a few years ago and I'm only now just beginning to see the funny side of it.
