Hello,
Don't know if this is the right place for introductions, but I just bought my first 928 (1984) and found this site while searching for info. Owned a 944 years ago, enjoyed the living-daylights out of that car...and I'm hoping too have the same luck with this car. Granted, the 944 was a stick...so that made a whole lot of difference in my opinion. This one is an auto, no biggy, since the wife will be driving it also.
Anyhow, just washed the car after the trailer ride it took, ice, salt and snow along the way, and will be putting it on jack stands later today for the winter. The car has 80,000 miles, second owner owned 25 years. For me (third owner), the immediate plans are to do the timing belts, since they have never been done, water-pump while I'm in there, change anti-freeze and check everything else associated. I did the timing belts twice on my 44, and I'm a mechanic by trade, so this procedure doesn't rattle me too much. I'll also drop the oil and filter, change the trans. fluid and filter and look over the steering components and motor mounts while it is in the air.
Things that have been done recently, complete brake job, tires, window motors (both doors) and battery.
Inside and out, I'll do a little detailing...nothing special...just some waxing, vacuuming and rim polishing.
And, then...wait the long horrible wait...for spring.
Any hints about these cars and what too watch out for would be greatly appreciated.
A couple pictures...
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to participating in this site.
Brian.
