The Stepson had just arrived. Those are not hail dents. They are 9 iron divots.

Angry ex-wives can really do some damage :S

Here is my two favorite girls in one picture - I hope neither ever goes haywire :)

New.......ish 1982 928s US

Well.
Here is my next project. Picked this baby up and plan to do a slow, rebuild of the main systems. Body is not bad at all.

Visually Needs:
-Paint
-Front Seat Re-Upholstery.
-Pretty much all new wiring in the engine bay. Lots of old wires/brittle/burnt/bad grounds. *Working on this now*

All in all though, I think this could be a winner, as it starts and stops every single time. Even now running only on the rear 4 cylinders #s 3, 4, 7 and 8.http://imgur.com/55hhPo9

This image kind of says it all. What I am working with. Notice the Green Wire with a previous repair attempt?

I seem to be the only one proud of my engine bay.

1979 928 for sale in CO!

Here's my girl, my third Porsche and my second 928. Not a garage queen by any standard, and a car that I have out in all weather. I've enjoyed quietly fixing up the few little problems that can be expected from a 27 year old sports car. She currently has under 62,000 miles on the clock and almost everything works reliably. Many smiles have been had behind the wheel in the short time I've owned her.

Hello Everyone,

My latest acquisition and first post, since lurking here and on other Porsche forums for several years.

My Porker:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1439879648.jpg

This was a few days after my purchase.

I didn't know a whole lot about it; other than it has had a hard life, has some bits missing (the brakes.. Not only did they not work, the booster and MC were missing). The interior is shot but all there, there is accident damage to the rear quarter panel and exhaust from what looks like a rear wheel blow-out at speed.... If you off-road a Jeep, you'll be painfully familiar with the sort of damage I'm going to need to repair.

Every bit of rubber on the engine and everywhere else is shot; and the whole thing is crowned by a piss-poor respray (hopefully not two-stage) and smothered with stickers.

Yes, this is a car that has been "Babied and Pampered" all the way...

On the other hand, it runs well with relatively few miles (odometer says less than 40,000, but a quick check of CarFax indicates a more realistic 90,000). It shifts smoothly through the gears with a good meaty feel to the clutch, and the E-Brake works V E R Y W E L L! (Hand brake turns anyone?) It also has new tires on polished rims, and it is registered through the rest of 2015.

And then... There's this! :D

The motor serial checks out as belonging to the vehicle.

Hey, is anyone familiar with the "Importer?" Is this Mr. Crosby someone who imported many of these for resale back in 1981, or was he likely a person who brought it here for his own use?

The car is "Federalized." It sports 7 inch sealed beam headlamps; and the front and rear side indicator lamps are courtesy of a 1981 Toyota Celica (Shame they cut into the wings to install them).

Work thus far: The brakes of course had to be at the top of the list. Fortunately, I have a pretty good list of 928 contacts for inexpensive parts here in S. Calif., so was able to get a brake booster, M/C, rear porportioning valve, and both clutch hoses for under $200. The install went pretty well, though I saved up a week's worth of cussing beforehand to use to help the job along.

Afterwards my son and I got busy with the hair dryers and got the stickers off (uncovering another dent behind the fuel door in the process, which should come out easily with a little pushing from behind). My son likes two of the stickers, so they will stay for now until I can get it repainted.

I like the color and with some work I could make it look almost like it came from the factory. The original color was Pacific Blue Metallic and the respray is darn close, but not quite, so given the bodywork I'm going to have to do, I don't have much choice but to strip it down and have it done right.:rolleyes:

New to the 928 world

MY name is Jim and I'm a car guy i have 1964 for galaxy 500 with the 390 thunderbird, a 1976 caddilac eldorado convertible a 1985 corvette and a 1986 mercedes benz 560sl all were or are fixer uppers , now i have a 1980 928 and could use some advise and some parts access. here are some pictures i hope i do not get in trouble for the non porsche pics lol. the porsche paint in the darek is brown in the sun is maroon
On another note the porsche i have has very little vacuum at the vacuum advance and compression is 180 across the board except for number 5 which is 120 number 3 runs rich and i under stand the firing order to be 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 the car sat since 2012 i drained and cleaned the tank i added a little marvel mystery oil and trans fluid to the cranck case ran her just to get her warm then changed the oil to rotella 15w 40 and added B&G oil treatment and B&G FUEL TREATMENT with 20 gallons of ethonal free 93. idles poorly in my opinion but will rev up to 6000 at the drop of a hat. I'm hoping that the low compression on number 5 is just a crudied up valve. Sorry for dropping so much at once I'm here to learn http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1442105033.jpg
