Inspired by 6mil928's before and after thread (looks great!), post two pics of your car. First pic from when you first got it, and what it looks like today.

Arrival day 11/26/2007, the day after my birthday! My son took this picture on a rainy afternoon, but I didn't care.


Crappy cell phone pic from 10 minutes ago.


Where to begin, I bought a car with 20+ years of consistent records including a lot of big $$$ items. Then I got started. New brake rotors, rebuilt calipers, brake lines, clutch master/slave/lines & lever ball cup, shift bushings, coupler and Carl's front cup, a/c expansion valve & fresh R12 (ice cold!), all exterior lights/bulbs including 7" E-code Cibie H4s, new water pump and PKns'r, new power steering lines, cam tower gaskets, smog pump delete and Motorsports Y-pipe, Fikse 17" FM/10s (courtesy of Sterling), new battery yesterday, and Borla SS secondary and primary mufflers going on next weekend...and I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff. Wow.

Mark beautiful car. You should be proud

S4ordie

Very nice. Would be good to hear what sort of things you have done to the car during your ownership.

shmark

Absolutely. Where's your pics?

Mark,
Job well done You took a very average 928 and created a real eye catcher I especially like the Fikse effect

Ya think? :-)

White Lightnin'

Shortly after I got my eBay gem I got to fixing some paint issues (when I found out my white car was originally Cassis Red Metallic)... anyway, I liked it white. Now, it is custom White Pearl. Before & after:

fraggle

eerg!!! that's still an ouch, man! Fire = Bad.

My wife actually caught sight of the 928 "update" list (with the cost and price total). Good thing she get's a regular supply of nice furniture.

shmark

My wife caught mine too, and pointed out a few things I missed...ouch. Barry I had no idea your car had been through that kind of transformation, looks fantastic. And Joey, we'll expect to see a much better before & after with your new car.
