Default 50% done (928 restoration)

OK guys, i've been claying and waxing and buffing and scrubbing. Here are my BlueMaxx pics. 86.5S, Prussian Blue so let me here your comments. Still got some engine work and chip repairs but i'm on my way.

I love it, but I've never liked 944 sports seats ...

Ok, the seat cover is just temp. It's only on the drivers side because the seat has major holes in it. The remaining 50% will restore to it's oringinal beauty.

Did you do the lettering in the PORSCHE imprint? If not, where did the lettering come from?

Looks awesome! I have a question though. It looks like the left side of the hood sticks up just a tad. I have a problem opening/closing mine and it does the same thing. Do you have any problems when opening/closing your hood?

Very Nice! Great color. That is the way all 928's should look.

The rare and elusive linen 928 sport seats... nice!

I need a pair for my 89GT. Anyone have a set?

Bluemaxx,

Q?: Where did you get the seat cover?
I would like to get at least a driverside cover for some of the daily use the car would see and when I'm working on the car to help my seats last a bit longer!

Unless the hood has been off, and not properly reinstalled, some spray lube on all the many hinge pivot points will usually fix this.
