92A0809561...95xx   928 JPN 
92A0810061...1649   928 USA+CAN 
92A0820061...1466   928 S ROW 
92A0829561...95xx   928 S JPN
Either way it doesn't make much difference now what it was originally. Engine is expensive part in it.
so i guess mine is a 928 ROW (92A0800999)

It's like "Hey Porsche owners, watch out, there's a new contender in town, and it's called the Yugo!"

If I had compared it to someone whose work is rubbish, than it would have been mean, but Paul and Rob do fantastic work.

Saw spray undercoating, spray expansion foam at the autoparts store.
Have yet to see spray carpeting. That would make a quick job of interior restoration.
Never thought about carpeting the vinyl/leather parts of the interior.
Sorta like those who choose the repaint and refloor house interiors without removing the old carpets and wall paints.

So any green 928's out there with astroturf'ed interior.
