Brendan,
I as many here, have waited for years. These pics will more than suffice as we anticipate the rubber hittin' the road.
Your ambitions will long endure inifinity. And that from me, I give credence. Call you tell I've been drinking?
More pics please...

if anyone knows 928 lower rear control arms its definately Russ. I think he has a bigger stockpile then 928intl.
Good eye Russ, So why is it bent?
And where did you get the upper adjustable arm? And why? Did you want to adjust rear camber? I ever haven't seen them before for a 928.

that one looks worse than my lower control arm that was bent when i got hit in the rear rim by the typeR mustange at the WC GT race at Laguna. I just fixed the toe (and added back in some camber) and it was right back to normal settings. Just looks funny. the wheel bearing finally went bad after 4 years of use!

Thanks, Ryan--I was wondering if it was time for another new pair of contacts.....(I hate these damn reading glasses)
Actually, though, I only have two extra pairs in my backyard bone yard....and no, Deb says I can't get them powdercoated.....darn.
Brendan's do look good, even if it is bent. Wonder what the other side looks like?

Brendan had a topic a while back, asking which side the arm with the bend in it went on. This was after it was powder coated, and unfortunately he learned that while the bend might be common (he had seen it on other 928s), it was not supposed to be there.

The upper links are just pieces I put together. Someone said they may not work on a lowered car, but I have to find out when its all together. Mike Simard Makes some.

Personally I struggle with cleaning the bits of rubber off my car after a track day, but I am definitely not a clean freak. This looks great, not sure if I went to all that trouble I would track such a setup. I am much too lazy to spend enough time keeping it looking that nice. I have the same thoughts when I look at Tass' track car. To each his own. You are certainly doing a very nice job! 
I have a Scat 928 Intl designed crank, if Brenda's is also, then as I recall:
6 cwt, 5.85 rods preferably with a relatively light bob weight

And unless its unalignable or affects the handling in any way, I am leaving them because I disassembled them, had them powdercoated, and then replaced all the bushings in them. And my other arms are also bent.

What it started as a few years ago (2004).
Then through some painting that I have pics of but can't find. We moved, I moved this car too. Did all the body work and final prep and then had color put on it that may or may not stick during daily driving.

Great exterior color Brendan! The wheels look great with the color as well.
Question, this is a track car/street car? Why is the entire floor covered in dynamat? That is dynamat or something similiar isnt it? Thats got to be 100lbs worth right?
How long have you been working on this thing now? Obviously this is a complete resto, i bet you cant wait to finally get this thing on the road.
