Default so much for knocking on wood

car will not be done today... bummer... it appears as though Porsche stopped making some of the fuel lines I need, once todays shipment comes in and I know what is missing I'll post and hope some of you folks here can help me find them.....
as for some of the comments...
I know the spoiler wasn't an original option but rumor has it the car was in the Porsche family originally so it may have been put on by the factory...
since the old brown psycho material isn't available I am sticking to the black leather interior that was previously put in (I need rear seats!!!)....
the car is actually sitting about 2.5-3 inches higher than normal and for the life of me I haven't figured it out yet....
I do plan on going to SITM in June if all goes according to plan (I'll be easy to find just look for the 34TH 928 license plate)....
as it stands the exterior is one of the better features of the car, previous owner had gutted large portions of the interior (he says to restore but I think he was gonna make a racer)....
in short this car needs lots of love
not sure if I'm the one to do this but until someone with more knowledge and deeper pockets comes along I guess she's left in my care
I have many more pics but need to cut them down to size and then everyone can see what I truly got myself into

look forward to more comments

If you have recently jacked the car up, this is completely normal.

You will have to drive the car for approx. 20 miles (the more turning and braking the better) before the suspension will settle back down.

It was a one-eyed, one-horned...

(Well, you know the rest...)
