That looks really nice. Black is great in these cars. So is silver, guards red, all of the blues, velvet red, the pearl white GTS, and too many others.
When I throw a pic of my car up, I am told to get GTS mirrors and clear turn lenses. You can't win. Your car looks great.

So I've heard...he gets my money first thing in the morning...I only hope they can deliver the stuff in short order, (I HATE waiting for parts,.. that have been paid for)...one of the primary reasons, in my estimation...of picking one vendor for a product that another, IS, If I spend my money, I don't want (or feel I should have to)...wait for weeks while my order is being "processed". Believe me...I know about "inventory control, and cycle time reduction"....but if you accept someones money for a product...to me, more than 2-4 days to process, and ship their order, means you are selling ...what you don't have. And if thats the case, then, I'd just as soon have my money, in my account, drawing me interest. But... I WANT the stuff.. wish me luck.

Hi Rich

Hong Kong is great except my 928 now lives in Vancouver Canada I exported it a year and a half ago I did a full resto on it I am currently looking for a 86 euro s ,there is one for sale here but the owner wants too much so I'll just wait. I love the look of the older body style and Jeff has a great example of one!!!!!

Regards Dan 1990 928GT


P.S. Jeff do not change a thing on your car it is a perfect example of a older body style you should be proud to display it as it is. My 2 cents worth.

Hey Jeff,

Your X-over will be shipped within 24 hours of receipt of funds, no waiting around. Our next batch is being built as well as the "Y" pipe and should be done in the next two weeks. We have enough "X's" to last until then (I hope!).

My 911 took over 10 years to get it right along with some serious cash.

Don' tell the wife

VERY NICE!!!
10-4 on the wife thing mine thinks I had to fix an oil leak. hehehe... the brakes will make the car feel about 1000lbs lighter w/bigger front meats on... always something to "fix", but you've got a REALLY nice starting point!!!

Hey 928SS,

thanks for the acolades.
It's tough with two P-cars and an advanced case of PMS (Porsche Modification Syndrome) My doctor informed me it is not treatable.
