Wow, looks very nice :-) Looking at your picture, made me wanna go into my garage and take a look at my (also freshly repainted) 928 :-)
I still think it is amazing that a car designed in the 70ies still looks so modern today.
Small question about your pictures, it looks as if the rubber gasket between the emblem is not there? replacing that gasket really completes the look ;-)

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It was a long process and the car still isn't "finished". I still have lot's to do such as new leather. Although I may be putting this car up for sale soon and before it's finished because I've never truly finished one. I don't think they are ever truly finished. I need to thin the herd. My 1978 "Code Red" widebody may also be for sale soon. Three cars are way to much for me to comfortably do and still have time for life.

Wow!
That car has come a LONG way since it left my place a few years ago. Looks really good.
Glad it found a home with someone who had the time and space to do something with it.

I've also been tweaking the turbo system, fuel system, and crankcase evacuation system has been completely revamped. Next step is an upgrade to Megasquirt III and EDIS ignition. The plan is to run dual fuel maps so that I can run E-85 as well as 93 octane. It's good to hear from you.

Hey
Where you are taking that car is where I wanted to go with it. I just simply didn't have the time or space to do it.
Hopefully, that will all change in the next few years. I have always liked 928's, and after owning one for a short time, I really like them now.
Keep up the good work, and keep us all informed on what you are doing with her. I really enjoyed reading this thread with all the updates.
Having painted a few (about 5 or so.) cars myself, you quickly realize why a great paint job cost so much $$$$$$$!!!

Since this thread is lacking in the "after" pics department I'll add another. This photo was taken by Longleader at our 928 gathering in Lakeland this past weekend. Thanks Longleader.
