I want to know the in and outs of the car and this is the way for me to do it. Body work will be the last and I have someone for that too. But it will most likely be a 1.5 to 2 year project for me and I'm fine with that. When I first start thinking about doing this someone was selling me one for $500.00 and had 90,000 miles on it but I didn't act on it fast because of work and when I wanted to see it - it was to late he sold to. So I have the finger on the trigger now.

If your plan is to buy a $1500.00 928 and restore it, be fully prepared to spend over $10,000.00
A set of bilstien shocks for this car costs $1000.00, and takes about 8 hours to install. Motor mounts are a 6-8 hour job too.
(quoted times are for a 928 beginner, with no lift access or power tools. On a lift with power tools and good 928 familiarity you can do both jobs in about 1/2 the time)
