Answer: 928 Obsession, because I thought of that briefly, but, at a young 62, it was not the overriding thought....

Happy Fathers Day to all 928 great dads!

Take Off!
Just got my S4 back up in the air ready for the new steering rack and Wishbone bushings to be refitted!

Sheesh Gretch~! Wear pants when you take pics of your 928... Stuff uh, reflects~! Ha~! Made ya look~! something about that shark looks familiar...

4 images from the 4th of July holiday/weekend:

A couple more - Coke car carbon panel:

Dual-Dimension Displacement Device (D4) which made it possible:

928 GT R (Dave) is a wonderful host - more:


^^^ freshly anodized - familiar, Dr. Edwards? ^^^

Unicorn teeth:

anybody know the part number of the bulb holder for the digital clock, as pictured below?

ready for Rendezvous!

and an early BD present from my wife: made out of iron, and from a photo of my car:

Cork Carpet with Cognac exterior. Should look awesome when I can actually get it outside in some light. Pic makes it look really orange. Looks more muted in person.

Love that bass speaker grill - Brilliant!!!

Interior is coming together.


Original interior had a mahogany dash, console, and the middle parts of the doors, but the center arm rest and the door handle and armrests were Caramel tan like the seats. When I got the 928 years back the seats and all the leather had been spray panted an off color tan... it looked horrible. I added the mahogany shifter, and did the steering wheel, center armrest and door armrests myself. Seats are 12 way comfort seats that were converted to sport seats. Original carpet was Cashmere colored and I redid it once and got dingy again really fast, so this carpet is Cork color from the 78-79 years.

Looks great! Too bad we can't smell it!

Went to rendezvous 2023 Columbus Ohio

New to me speaker grills.

potential pleasure


potential pain

Nice speaker grills Dimitri.
Mind if I ask where you sourced those from?

Hi All

First post on Openroad!

My 8 year restoration project is pretty much complete and now doing first test drives. Car was sat for nearly 15 before that so it’s been a while since it saw the open road!

very impressive under bonnet install Ben, looks like new, and always nice to see hose clips aligned, the small details make the difference, or i am just sad to notice them.
hope to see it in the metal at some point.
cheers

Quiz: What ET do you get when you add 1 inch to the inside of an et52.3 wheel?

52.3 + (25.4/2)

Don't want to fall afoul of the pic police...

This is the correct application of the formula, as I understand it.

Exactly. It’s a 928 picture thread not a bottom-post-5-picture-post-with-me-too thread.

For every post without a 928 picture there is a small probability that rodents will infest your 928 or an Agent of Internet Karma will sneak into your garage and do shit to your 928 without you knowing about it.

^^^ filter NOT yet installed!

I've posted pics of the 12 way power sport seats that Porsche never made and here's a GTS leather hand brake in Mahogany which is impossible to find. Porsche never made them in Mahogany either

When you work on the brake master cylinder or when you flush your brakes (every two or three years) always be careful of fluid spills. Brake fluid and paint don’t mix.

Big deal?

Well, the brake fluid gets between the paint and rubberized coating and wicks. So…

My agreed value policy is up for renewal and they're hassling me over the amount. They'll go $80K, which I still think is on the low side, if I'll send them some updated pics. Well OK, if you insist... ;-)

Beautiful as ever.

They need to look at BaT for comps.

broken nylon wheel on door regulator. Hopefully can get that part and new rivet.
