Hey everyone Happy 9/28!

Hope the folks at Frenzy are having a blast. By my calculations, they should be heading to the bar right about now or quite soon.

I've been working on this '85 euro S project for a couple years now and it's starting to wrap up, so I was organizing photos and thought to make a little "reveal" video to celebrate 9/28. Hope you like it.

More or less a nut and bolt restoration with a few deviations from stock. Details later. Best enjoyed with a beverage.

Thanks for the endless selfless help from everyone on this forum.

Are you freaking kidding. That is awesome!

I know most of the folks you credited at the end.

Well done - a new 928 legend has been born!

Awesome!

Is this the motor that replaced the one that's now in my Spyder. Let me know when you're getting rid of this one for the next upgrade

The car is not only awesome, but also inspirational. A rolling testimony to what hard work and dedication will bring you. Congratulations!

......and the video is pretty damn good, too!

Are you planning on bringing her to Sharktoberfest to show people your completed masterpiece?

Thanks guys! Its been a rewarding project, still a few ticky-tac things to do but its mostly there. I cant stress enough the tremendous efforts of the folks in the 928 community who make a project like this possible. Really, I just took it apart and reassembled the thing, with help along the way as needed.

the mileage is the price. 136K and change right now. Price increases as I drive it

yes sort of, this car replaced that car; the parting-out of that car partially funded this project.
