Formal introduction
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

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.

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 :

Ign.Brain & Clutch part
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.
