I am glad to see some of my 1988 parts lives in other 928s. Did they replace the door? Looks like it was very pricey.

That will be a good car to compare a rub strip verus a rub strip delete.

Sab

Thanks for everyone's help with cheap parts.
I had no expirience with this and bought a few parts that didn't fit.
So for everyone else embarking on such a project, be aware of model year. I found out the hard way that a rocker panel and hinge pilar is different from '86 to '91. The shop was able to pull it all out and rebuild it.
I replaced the door and the body shop cut the front section of my damaged fender and welded it to the back section of the '86 fender that I bought from a salvage yard advertising it as an '87 fender.
I am still missing a front and rear fender liner and a marker light, but it will be perfect soon.
The entire project cost me a lot less then initially quoted by some other shops. So I think it was worth to put it back together.

nice work, glad your going to have a nice car to drive.
The wheels look pretty cool as well

Looking good, nice save. +928 on the wheels, really nice. What kind are they?

Nicole

Awesome save!!!

Do you want an amber or a clear marker light?

Sab

HI Nicole,

the other side is amber, but an all clear front on this car would probably look nice. I will see if the old one turns up somewhere, but if not, I will need one.
thanks,

+1 on the wheels. I don't think I've ever seen any of those before...

Excellent save! You da man!

Nice work, were they able to pull the rocker and the door frame too?

Sab

yes, they rebuilt the rocker and the hinge pillar. the only part used was the door and part of an old fender...
