that "S" curve on the front fender is my favorite 928 reflection

Looks spectacular, can't wait to see it assembled and in daylight!

[gbgastowers]

We made it home safely. 3000 mile round trip. Car is washed off and in the garage awaiting final assembly. There is still a lot of fine tuning to do do the new paint but it looks so amazing. Gunar

Its a cream puff! Really admire your adhering to its original factory state. That can be difficult or imposssible sometimes. Its to your credit when you hauled in this doomed vehicle. Bravo!
Prior Owner had real bad taste in style putting those wheels on.They break the beautiful lines of the 928 and the color clashes. yuck.
Would love to see those original 5-hole wheels on it. Forgot what theyre called but they complimented it so well that you just knew you were looking at superior design and craftsmanship.
And now its all that... and RARE too.
What a jewel.

Simply incredible... I too was inspired by Leo aka MPDANO... He turned his euro from a non-runner to a very clean ride...

I own a good runner (84), but I have no time to work on it now, so I just drive it and plan out the next repairs: transmission swap, fix the gas hoses, install a three panel set of dash gauges above the radio, new headlights., etc....

The point here is that my list is not getting completed; your list is moving along- great progress, very inspiring.

Everything is in place but the connection of the fuel lines. I'm going to run some fuel through them and catch can it right before the engine then connect and see if it will start. Any other suggestions before I try to start it? It will be a miracle if it starts today. Gunar
