Unfortunately I won’t be able to do much more on this car.
I got a dream career opportunity which will require lots of traveling, at least for 6 months starting in December.
So I really should thin the herd. This will be the 3rd 928 I planned to keep but ended up selling.
First one I got an offer I could not refuse.
Second one was during Lehman, I put up both my 930 and the 928 and the 928 sold first.
And now this.
If I can find reasonably priced protected parking I would keep it, so let’s see what I can find in the next little while. Paying $300 a month for a gravel parking spots is not cheap.
So...
Here it the info:
1989 Porsche 928 S4

VIN: WPOZZZ92ZKS841153

98,000km

Black on Black

Sunroof

Leather interior, except dash board

5 litre 32valve motor

4 speed automatic transmission

List of work done:



Engine swap due to thrust bearing failure on original motor

Thrust bearing end flow 0.2mm on used 88 engine #M28/42 81H05845

Timing belt

Water pump

Front cam shaft seals

Front and rear crank shaft seals

Flywheel bolts

Oil pan gasket

To make it perfect:

Slight rattle from the torque tube, possibility shifted bearings.

Dent on left front wing near side marker

Rear bumper clear coat peel

Minor dent on left and right rear fenders

Small rust around rear glass

Missing engine under guard

Oil pressure gauge doesn’t work due to digital dash/2 prong oil pressure sender incompatibility

I will try to address some of those issues the longer I have it.

I basically have 2 weekends to do it and repair the bumper on my E430.
