Hello Rennlisters

Here's an update on the 1984 Porsche 928S. Here some more recent photos of the car. Not a lot of stuff has changed except that the wheels has been polished. Here are some more recent photos of the car. I still have the original finish inside of the wheels . I had only got the face of the wheels polished so incase I ever want to re anodize them back to the original finish (I still know what the original finish looks like). Nothing in the interior has changed, it's still look the exactly the same as it was in the other photos. The only reason I polished them is because my fathers old 84 928S had polished wheels and I wanted to try it out on the car (the wheels need to be refinished anyway when I got the car) and they came out excellent like I wanted them to be. I might leave them for a while like that and then later on refinish them in the original finish. Don't worry it's still the original paint and interior. (Photos are below)

Thank You

that's a beautiful car! I have a soft spot for 84's, and I love guards red.

The original finish is simply anodized. Wrecking the anodizing by using improper cleaners (caustic cleaners take the finish off quite effectively) is pretty common.

Replicating the original finish is not always easy.

However, original finish Manhole Cover wheels (official name: Flat Disc Wheel) are really common. Last I talked to him, Erik (Hacker-Pschorr) had so many sitting he was thinking about using one for a garden hose hanger.

I know it's anodized. I have a buddy at the Porsche dealership that knows a guy that can re anodize like OEM. He told me if i'm interested I can get his business card.

Thank you

Nate? Are you asleep at the wheel. Stop using that autonomous driving.
