Hi Simon, Glad to hear that you got a great car. It looks really nice and I bet you have learned more about its past by now. Any update photos and comments as to how the insurance worked out? Regards, Dave
Dave, thanks for following up. Yes I think this will be a great car when I get everything sorted. It definitely has better boneds to build onthan my 85. So far I managed to find the name of the previous owner who had most of the work done on it (Mike Craig in Austin, TX). I have not managed to speak with him about any of the fine details yet, so if anyone knows him, please ask if it is ok to forward me his contact info. From what I have found, the car had a glass out repaint in the original Silver Metallic in 2013, and then went to Rob Budd at classic 9 weather shop for the interior work in early 14.

The plan is to swap over anything that I have on my 85 that will enhance the 86.5, for instance I will be moving over the Porken chips and the 4 hole injectors, as well as the X-pipe, and also my Panamera 18 inch wheels. Eventually the rest will be parted out, but right now it still moves under it's own power, which is convenient. As soon I take off the first critical piece which disables it I will probably try to disperse the remaining parts very quickly so I don't have a large immovable object stuck behind my garage for very long. So if anyone needs any specific parts that might be on my 85 please let me know.

Thanks Brad. My 85 was also an auto, and though I'd enjoy a manual at times, I have grown to appreciate the 928 with a Rogerbox.

What's the situation on the chassis and suspension of the T-bone? Does it drive straight? Aside from the right bash, how about the other panels like the hood, hatch, left door, roof? When you strip off the goodies for the new car, are you just going to start parting out from that? Seems like a guy with a decent body shop, and a spare door, and fender might get it back rolling again. Unless the chassis is tweaked or the suspension is boogered.

Doc, the chassis is tweaked. the passenger floor is buckled, but it does drive. For now.
