A 5 speed - very cool! Mine's an automatic, unfortunately. It's got 82k miles and good bones (paint, engine, interior), but a "to do" list of little stuff that's a mile long.

I put the complete interior from a 1987 in mine due to full leather interior shrinkage etc. I had 57k miles when I sold it in 2001-02 don't remember exactly. My buddy had one and I just had to get one also- what a great car.

I may put a couple on my Christmas want list anyway. They would provide cool back drop lighting when dark.

For years I've almost pulled the trigger on one of the reproduction gas pumps but haven't done so due to lack of space in my garage. I really like this one:

Now the prices for the pumps have gone up more than 50% from when I first started looking. I should have bought one years back I guess and made the space. Oh well.

Your 928S4 sounds like mine- Very presentable, but ALWAYS something to be done. Torque tube up next for me.
I also have an '87- Silver with Black interior and auto trans. Has the "cool" flip up spoiler too!

Yep, I've got the "flip-up" spoiler on mine too.

I've got one of those new Ritech flex plate clamps sitting in my toolbox waiting to be installed. That's "supposed" to be a permanent solution to the thrust bearing failure issue.

I always tell people that I look at the 928 as the "Elvis" of cars. Coolest man to ever walk the face of the planet, but I wouldn't put money on him to win a race on an obstacle course.

I'm going to ruin your wall parade, Paint your walls. Everything is taped, just paint it. You could texture it beforehand I guess.

Other than that, I like the Porsche flags, Cayenne and Colorado Plates Nice garage.

The first photo is right after I installed the flooring. The second photo looks a bit more used after several years. I've almost run out of wall space for signs and posters, but I need a Porsche flag or two to complete it.
