Finally get to drive the 928 after more than a year of fixing all the "fixes" on it from years of servicing by jungle mechanics.
It runs good but still a lot to do but it's now in a rolling renovation phase.
The car is an ex UK 1980 S Auto that started life Silver with Blue interior.
It came to Thailand in '89 as a returning student import (no tax) and was repainted Midnight Blue in '94. The interior was probably changed at the same time to a horrible light beige.
It still have that Midnight blue from '94 and will be resprayed in the future. The interior has new seat covers front and back and the rest dyed Champagne with black carpets.
And here's why you can't use Panamera wheel with original tires
Managed to find wheels locally that came with old tires. Will be put on the 928 after I get new lower profile tires on them
I have to give it to the local "mechanics" who can keep things running without use of any original parts made for the car.
I'm still amazed it run when I bought it. The CIS was a mix of Porsche, Mercedes and Ferrari used parts that was put on without any renovation or proper setting, even had a mix of different injectors and spark plugs. All the 4 (WUR, coldstart etc) electrical connectors on the engine were in the wrong place. The engine harness was falling apart. Don't think it would have started in colder climate.
It still have the Mercedes FD and Ferrari WUR but they have been overhauled and and dialed in and works great.
