Headlight aim adjusters (crazy hydraulic system)
footwell and centre comb vac actuators (new footwell actuator on the way!)
de-icer doesn't turn off after 15 minutes (but I got the new relay yesterday)
D light in tacho
roof light above rear seats works only in 'always on' position (new light on the way)
aircon (haven't started looking at that yet)

Well, after another intensive 2 days going through a repair list, I have remaining:
Odometer
PS Pump (slight leak and noise)
Missing the Supercharger (Can not find it under there anywhere)

* Passenger side door locks are flakey; always works on it's own, but sometimes not in sync when locked/unlocked from driver's side.
* Low fuel warning. The light goes on when I start the car, but I've never seen it come on when fuel is low. I've never run our though; maybe it comes on when there's 1/2 gallon left? I've never filled more than 20 gallons into it, needle points to lowest mark; what's the capacity?
* Center air vent blows unheated air when heater is on. Door, foot, defroster vents are OK.
* HVAC lights don't work.

What doesn't work on my '88
- AC
- odometer
- AC flappy valve
- driver side alarm w/lock (passenger side works fine, electrical short I am sure)
- power steering leaks
- power mirrors (electrical short I am sure, they work w/3 way drivers adjustment)

I have replacement parts to fix
- AC
- odometer
- electrical shorts

Now if I could just find where I put the time to fix them??

Everything works, really. I do have some oil leaks though. There must be others that have zero problems?

"If thy left eye offends thee, pluck it out" So, I did. Godzilla has no ac, no fidgets and no fadgets. Everything works.

Seems like every day something stops working and something else starts working.

Option code 20MM isn't presently functioning. That is the trigger switch in the e-brake handle button that fires the 20mm Vulcan gattling gun carefully hidden in the front of the car. This option code is used to gently persuade left lane bandits to be a bit more considerate in future encounters with fast moving P-cars.

Oh yeah, and my washer pump is apparently siezed up!

There's a post for a bunch of 928 parts on the pelican board right now for $25 in the So Cal area to. IIRC he had a washer pump NOS in that bunch of items

Odo and Electric trunk release. Not bad for its age!
My passenger side window is verrrry sluggish at the moment though... it trips out mid way up. Need to take it apart and apply some grease.
