Also, worf, what is on top of the upper ball joint in your last photo?

Ok.

Are those adjustable Konis? If so, I might be interested in them, the Eibachs, the threaded collars and adjusters. PM if yes.

Nothing. RDK sender and bracket occlude the ball joint in the picture.

Ah, did not know that. Red Witch is pre-RDK.

PM in process.

Fresh paint. Interior is next

In my experience, the Koni's are the best choice with stock springs. I've never had to remove a set of those from a customers car because they were unhappy but have had to remove Bilsteins several times. Sachs are more of a comfort shock, too soft for me.

Hmmmm...


Also, what in God's name is that?!?!?!?!

Just another photo to keep this thread moving. I do not have many photos, but this one is with the Cup 2 wheels, which now belong to Bertrand.

Or, how about my 87 S4 which had a car b q?? This is the after photo. I picked up the car in Ontario, and it was a no start. Luc(Oups59) came to my house on a Sunday morning with the LH and EZK modules, to see if that was the problem. It started right up. 4 hours round trip. Talk about helping a brother out....above and beyond the call of duty.
Called Roger, ordered lots of parts( timing belt, water pump, Porken tensioner, gaskets hoses, screws, and lots more). One month later, kaboom! A write off!
Anyways, I’m back with Luc’s car, as soon as the snow melts.
Cheers

Do you guys like "Dirty" pictures...?

You filthy bitch!!

Come on Joel!

Take a bucket of water with your prefered soap and clean that beauty!

We like CLEAN 928s!

"Out here in the perimeter we is stoned, immaculate"
Ed, love that! Jim Morrison for ever!

Is that better.... ?

Yes it is!

Nice photo, Bertrand. Is that at Icar?

Thank you Don!

Yes it was at ICAR in 2016.
My car won the judges "Coups de coeurs" trophee both days for the Porsche group. They chose two each day.
It's cool that they chose the 928 among all the other Porsches. Old and recent models.
This is part of the cars there one of the two days.

Love the pimp shoes, Joel...

Hey Bertrand. I was there in Sept/2016, at a Porsche gtg, trying out the new Boxsters. 8 different cars, lead by a pro driver, around the track, with walkie talkies..8 cars, which we rotated drivers and car every 4 laps. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun.

Always something - removing driver's seat. Of course, this one was the one at the rear inside rail, second one in - hardest to reach

Had to do that a few times Worf.


This morning Rogers delivery person showed up with this for me. Put the extended hub on it and now a super tall dude can drive his car w/o beating up his knees as he turns.

Whut? (No quote; whatcha talkin’bout Willes?)

Oh hell, that was Linderpat. Carry on.

87-88 FoE went out this morning.

Quiet day around here, rainy and miserable, so I may as well post a few photos..
My granson’s 1st birthday yesterday and his dad says that he is practicing for when he turns 16, and can drive my car.

swapping sills and rear quarter panels from an S4 to the blue GT in our body shop, i do the spanner and electrical, bodywork i leave to the pro's
once the body shop have finished it i just need to put a cambelt and waterpump on it and see if it will start after being parked up outside for the last 5 years.
poor thing.
cheers
Phil

Geez! After my car b q, I had a complete rust free,S4 body, and I could not give it away.. I chopped it into 10 pieces and put it in my trailer to take it to a scrap yard, where they gave me$28 for the scrap.Shit, it cost me more than that in sawzall blades, to cut it up.

This is glorious.

Thanks. Give all the glory to Luc(Oups59).. I just bought it from him, in this beautiful shape. I have not even picked it up yet. Waiting for the snow to melt.
One more photo. Luc gave me the choice of seats. Comfort or Sport. It was an easy decision.
Regards. And sorry that I can’t help you guys more, presently with technical stuff, as I haven’t had a 928 for 5 years, but I will catch up quickly.

Almost there, getting all cleaned up for this years driving season!

^^Pure GT porn! Looking good Bob!

One Sport seat, one Comfort seat. Choices, choices!! Waiting patiently to pick it up. Still lots of snow and cold weather to deal with, here, north of Montreal.

Switching carpet to cork. Door panel still has the old cashmere colored carpet. Cashmere gets dirty too easy and looks washed out. Cork was an available color on the early cars but I think it’s going to look really good with the mahogany dash, and tan leather. I really wished the mahogany carpet was still available. I would have gone with that.



Rear seat delete installed.

Air hats.. new 944 hubs on shorter spindles. Mocking up for rotor hat measurements

That is going to be beautiful when you’re finished. Superb job!!
I think you will have more awards coming up...

Vacuum Struggles



And new side window sticker

very random from a few years back

maybe next year to do another photo shoot and calendar, was fun doing it

You win this thread. Hands down.

As she slowly picked up the 928 cambelt she said "DO NOT forget your safe word"....

mom and daughter

You guys have whooped my butt on making harnesses the past 8 days. 7 of them out the door. Huge thanks for it.

1995 Aventurine Green GTS.
This is Bruce Bade's car (RIP) and one of only two cars in this color for '95.

the yellow 928 is owned by a friend and the orange GT/S and silver SE are mine

Getting a dose of Vit D this afternoon....

.

you are slacking. should be using the 2" blue tape.... and not nearly enough but don't leave it on there long....

Motor mounts and oil pan gasket job.
BTW, the yoga carpet is better to lay on than on the concrete floor!

Finally got my oil filler neck done.



Time to fill it up with oil.

OK, busy weekend - panel refresh. I've done this job on my other 928's, and is very easy to do, just be careful when unhooking the lower rack of plugs - don't forget to pull out the red tab in the low center of the panel, then carefully lift each tab in the corner of the plug and gently pull out. Get things organized for later reassembly, like plug position. Need to finish all of this for Carlisle, otherwise suffer the grief of this bunch by bringing my 997 instead.
