Hey guys & Girls !

Before I post anymore replays I thought I`d introduce myself (aswell) and yes, I`ll make it a bit shorter than Dwayne`s

My name is Ketil, and I live in a place called Mjøndalen in Norway

About 2 months ago I visited a guy in Sweden (Michael) selling a 79 928S. The car was OK for the price, but it didn`t suit my plan for a track car. Since Michael at that time had 6 more 928`s at his "928 Ranch" he showed me a 89 GT without an engine, and I thought; YES ! That sounds MUCH better

He was planning on putting a GTS engine in that car, but since I`m running a low budget on this, I asked him if he would allow me to put a downpayment on the car as is. He said yes

Long story short; I can bring the car home to Norway after I pay the next installment (VERY soon I hope)

My plan is to put the car on a diet, bigger wheels, RMB, Lexan rear quarters, race seats + + and eventually fit a spruced up S4 engine in the abyss you call an engine bay

Thank you guys & girls for all the tips, knowledge, and for having me

PS! I`l soon be a full fledged member

 

Ketil,

Welcome! GT's are great cars. Keep us posted when you get it and as you set it up for the track. Should be fun.

Nice to have you, but run away before you get so hooked and your life is dedicated to your 928. Just kidding, good luck and enjoy.

 

Ketil:

Nice to have another Scandinavian on the board. Add $17.95 to your final payment to take care of a Rennlist subscription and you'll have made the bestinvestment possible for your car.

 

Welcome.

I always think it's cool how the 928 board is truly a global community verse something like redneckcamaro.com

You will have a great track car soon.

 

Wow, lots of new guys. Welcome and keep us posted on your progress. Good luck!

Hey you more experienced guys, how many more newbies have to join for me to drop my 'newbie' status?

 

Hello Ketil,
Welcome to the list from one newbie to another. I hope you get your GT soon and enjoy the project. Looking forward to hearing about your progress soon. Good luck!

 

Thanx guys for the warm welcome

It`s great to know that people from all over the world is watching me.

84totheFloor I`m sure gonna pay that extra $17.95 or better yet $32 for a 2 year subscription very soon

I`ve noticed that you guys like pictures, so I`m planning on an extensive photo ducumentary since my project is going to move slowly and wil give me good time to snap the picrures ( I know, it doesn`t work out that way)

While we wait, here are some pictures I took at Michaels :

 

I cracked the code on my picture software :-) I save any picture in 690 x 519 resolution and they get uploaded !

 

Welcome
It will be fun to watch your progress keep us posted.

 

Be sure to get the fuel injection brain amd ignition brain with the car as well as the flywheel and clutch parts !!

 

Thank you Mako 928

Jim, the original GT engine is gone along with the brain, flyhweel and clutch Will this empose any problems for me hooking up an S4 engine complete with flywheel and clutch to the TT ?

 

Just more parts that you will need to make it a car plus finding a stick shift engine for the flywheel and clutch is not all that easy.

 

Jim, Michael (PO) has an S4 engine that sits in a MT S4 that I can buy complete with ing.brain. Is there still somthing I will have to outsource ?

 

Looks like he has all that you might need.
