Did anyone tinker with their 928 today?
I searched for and didn't find so thought we could use one of these threads..
I drained my power steering fluid and refilled with Dexron ATF, cleaned the res and cap real well and replaced the seal. The cap dip had fallen off and was at the bottom of the res. Very clean and no longer losing fluid through cap, Looks nice. Then took off steering wheel & greased horn contact and went to work. Took about 15 minutes. Always do something before work lately I have been driving it a lot. running great

Replaced the pull-wire for the hood release, as well as the backing to the handle in the cabin.
Replaced (well, put in place, since the ones that were there had fallen of by themselves) the aluminum shields that direct airflow from the ducts in the bumper to the front brakes Today: CV-axle boots  Those center-nuts are crazy-tight!!! Last week I did some other stuff, pics should be self explanatory:

Got my tank back from being cleaned late last week. Been too busy to get the correct size fuel hoses to put it back on. Just need vacuum hoses to get everything put back together. I think I can try to start afterwards. =)

It seems like I can never get enough light under my hood when I'm working, so I scratched together some canned lights and lumber that was left over from the basement. Now it's like an operating table!
I have not decided if it's pure genius or I'm WT.

Nice operating table Crumpler and nice 928, motor looks spotless. How did you get that nickname, accidents?
Ron and Brad hope your gas issues are solved!  This will be a great thread, motivates..going to clean motor before work tomorrow to prep for my electric fan upgrade. Matt

Thanks Fixer. Your 83 is quite sharp.
I will try and get you more info on fan specs. tonight on the other thread. No accidents in history but I tend to create collateral damage when working on car.

Thanks Dave? Crumpler. I got the e fan in mail and it is installed. removed the AC con fan (wasn't working) and set it up to push air through (1500 cfm, 20 amp current draw) once through the AC coil cfm should be 1300, thermostat works well (probe type) happy to have no air pump and now sans the fan belt. saved 8 pounds O.aA.. Nice product for the price, will test all weekend and update you all.
Have a great night!   NOTE: This fan set up was changed to PULL and worked much better. It has been fine in the 90 degree heat.

I got her running, again...no fuel leak yet. Prepping for brake lines, clutch line, and blue hose next. The brake line fittings are wicked rusty. I have been soaking them in Kroil every day....

Spent the past 3 days detailing the shark. Clay bar, scratch remover, 3 layers of Zaino polish and 2 layers of Zaino wax. Also put on leather conditioner and rubber rejuvenator. The car is very shiny now. Tomorrow I'll take it out for some good pictures.

^^^ probably a bad side marker bulb,
or the connector for it is dirty, check along the rear edge of the floor of the hatch for the side marker light connectors, they are 2 pin

Cleaned front of motor, prep for TB replacement, (i can't get my pretty hands dirty) replaced my plugs, looked closely at plug wires, they look good and operate fine but are very old (Beru).
Tomorrow Camshaft drive belt, excited
