PS the re-appolstry was done by Rod, and looks great, and Paul is doing the pod.

which of the.... Posts: 5,775... that I have made should I repeat ? your request is just a bit too broad and general for an answer. If there is a specific problem that you have then much help is available. You also can get some humor ?, attitude and harassment as well. Tell us more about your 928 project.

Jim,
Im woundering how to fit my front Turbo lookII wheels on my 928. The rears fit well, but the fronts i had to remove the center cap. Is there another way to use those wheels with the cap?

thanx

Jim, cut him some slack - he lists his birthday as 12-11-91, so his experience asking questions on a forum is maybe - shall we say - minimal!

Does anyone know how to fix the A/C that blows hot air or do we need to replace it. If we need to replace it, which part need to be replaced? Any help would be great

thanx

The center cap problem with the front axle dust cover interference can be fixed by removing the dust cover and triming them so they sit in farther just be sure that there is still clearance for the big axle nut.
