Dan, thanks for sharing! Add me to the list of folks who would be willing to pay for a CD with higher-resolution shots...

Ed Hughes

I'll echo the sentiments, and thank you for posting.

A question: Did you by chance see the ***** engineer that designed the vacuum-dependent HVAC system? He probably woulda been under armed guard with the guy who put the A/T fill way up and out of the way so that no irate owners would assault them!!

Thanks Dan , as others have said they really are a part of our 928 history


Ed, the 4 speed auto is easy to fill when you know how without touching the topup reservoir as I have explained in another thread some time ago.

Dan,

Great pictures and with all the others, let me add my thanks!

Ed, I don't have any problems with my 5-speed 928 oil servicing ? ? ?

Dan,
You've got enough pictures and caption/write-ups to create a nice mini coffee table book.
Can probably sell quite a few.

928's. Great to work on when it's in pieces on the workbench before the pieces parts reach the assembly line. Or do they make sure the fasteners are facing firewalls and fenders and inaccessible after assembly.

Ed Hughes

Hadn't seen that, but that doesn't change the design....nor does it address the HVAC!

Ed Hughes

That's OK, I guess I'll take the reservoir location. All the time and energy I save from not shifting and not ever having to change a clutch will make up for it.

What a great thread! I've seen only a few photos of the 928 mfg. line, the photos provide a treasure trove of visual stimulus for the 928 world of owners!

If you do a high resolution scan, I'd be greatly interested too!

Dan...I can't express how entertaining and important these photos are to myself and the 928 community I'm sure...thank you for taking the time to scan and post.

Best,

I too, would happily buy a CD. I'd also like to host some of these photos for the 928 Community if that would be permisable.

They certainly should be preserved ofor posperity.

I'd place them in a special page all their own at our site.
You copyright markings are welcome to remain on the photos.

Please let me know.

Dan,

Thank You very much for thinking of the 928 community and taking the time to Scan these historic images that you shot "back in the day" and posting them on a thread for us. This is like finding outtakes or additional shots from the Project 928 book in a vault somewhere. NO... it's better.

Chuck Schreiber

Hat's off Dan!! Thanks!

Please Keep them coming if you have more.

I noticed that too, and I agree it looks like an engine repair area of sorts. I doubt that they install the righthand head after the all the intake and FI goodies. I bet that one came from the Dyno room with a problem on the righthand head.

928drvr86.5

Yep, righthand header is laying on the ground behind the engine, head is on the bench. I hope the technician didn't trip over it. Maybe now we can spend the next six months analyzing what is going on in these pictures, i think i see the dyno room in the background!

Dan,
Thanks for the great photos, and history.
