Wow Dean, it is finally starting to look like a whole car again. The color really does look incredidble.
You're son must feel pretty lucky to be getting this car.

This car is AMAZING! I know you are going to call it Marvin, but I am going to call it Envy, because when I see it I am as green with Envy as the car is!

It's looking really good.
Are you going to add a right mirror? It would be saver to ride it. Not that a lot of people can overtake your son n this pretty car.
And if you are, why not make them Aero's. It shall enhance the look even further.
I never favored the chrome ring around the headlights, green would be the best color.

AC clean up and mods....
Also...I would like to thank Jim Dubois for sending Garrett a much needed heater box to replace the one I broke while removing. This will help immensely in reassembling the dash! Jim also sent Garrett the bumper shocks he was needing and some bumper beading as well!!!! These 2 boxes were large and heavy and I'm sure were $$$ to send not to mention the time spent. Many thanks and I owe you big time.
Jim, your a great friend!

Dean your project looks great,
I recommend you take that HAVC box (since it is out of the car) apart and clean while it is out most of them look like this one in the attached pictures and also it will be easy to add a pollen filter at this time (if your going to do this I have some pictures)

"The 928 is a diamond that will shine brightly with years to come," was the view of Ulrich Bez in his capacity as Head of Development at Porsche in 1989
In 1992, Porsche achieved a new pinnacle in the development of the 928 with the 928 GTS. The GTS was the strongest and most impressive car in this model line to date.
Thanks to numerous refinements, the V8 cylinder engine achieved an impressive 350 hp at 5700 rpm.
