Hey Folks! The Eagle (or rather Shark) has landed! I now have a 1984 928S Project sitting in my Driveway here in Houston. Ohhh Happy Day!!
Now that it is clean and ready for company... I was Wondering if any of you Guru's here in Houston would be so kind as to take a look at it and let me know what they think. Many of you were kind enough to offer while I was looking around. I would appreciate some experienced input. I will be working on it this weekend and probably for many days to come. If you have been watching the Posts or are a member of the Houston PD, you know that I am in SW Houston, Brayswood off of the 610 (ish)
Come meet the new shark on the block.
If you are TRULY old school in the 928 community you may even recognize it as the PO was an original RLer and very active in several owners groups. IOW this shark has a pedigree! I consider it an honor to re kindle the torch that has been handed off to me.
For those of you who do not Live in Houston (don't worry I WON'T hold it against you) I will post pics and observations. I am putting together a to do list, parts list, and prioritizing. Just to let you know TB is a for sure. WP was changed at 40K, she is showing 78K (odo broken) The car is running and driving like a champ, but has been in storage for 5 or more years. I am currently cleaning the connections, relays, etc...all the usual suspects. I drove it 150 miles from Austin...So...I think the "Wake up" is pretty much a done deal.
The back hatch latch is broken and the lock cylinder is buggered....Any suggestions as to how to open the darn thing from the inside? I am a little stumped on this one.
Before you say it...I know...I know driving on a TB that was last done 50K and possibly a decade ago was a bad thing. Maya Culpa, Maya Culpa, Maya Maxima Culpa...May the Porsche gods forgive me my transgressions. I plan on doing much groveling under the vehicle in penance for my sinful ways.
