Smile Much Aloha to all who has helped me!!!

Just wanted to take a few minutes to say Mahalo (thanks) to all who have helped me with the restoration of my '87 S4. I live in Hawaii, and could not have completed the work without your help. Very few 928's here, and fewer people to contact for information and help!!! My 'shark' is now about 85% back to original, and its looking and driving really nice.
My job often keeps me from getting back in touch with the group in a short time, but all your advise was what I needed to work on my car when I could. (I travel out of state)
Thanks again everybody, and I will keep posting my problems when I find them!!!
Mahalo and Aloha:

JOHN

I have done most of the work myself, but have used a repair shop called 'MOTORWERKS' for the things I can't do.
Owners name is Gerrard Simones, and they are quite good, and reasonable. If you need address and phone, let me know.

Actually, I am trying to track down a guy there who does really good work on Porsches of all types. His name was Quentin and ran a shop on Cooke Street behind Electronic Entertainment called AirCooled Engines before they tore down and rebuilt that area. He built some wild cars (I once rode in a Delorean that he put a Hemi engine into- don't I ask how, I can't tell). Anyway he and a bunch of other guys including this other guy Oswaldo Badua tore down and rebuilt things to create some damn nice work!

Many of his cars ended up in AMVW for sale when they were finished.

Pat:

On my way to town right now, and I will ask around to see if he is still here. Air Cooled engines is still around, now out by the airport. Phone number is (808) 591-8222.
I just called them, and they say there is no Quinton there, and the owner is the original owner. Could he have just worked there and moved on?. Whats his last name, and I will try to track him down.

Hey Pat,
Is this the source of your next 928? I might have to go check it out.
