Go easy, 1st posting

Just offloaded the car carrier (Cali to Tn) and gave it its first bath. Gonna try and upload a pic, bear with me. Original owner made me promise to take care of her. Good story. Now I'm going to do whatever it takes to save an old beauty.

-1986.5
-2nd owner
-Black / tan interior
-48K original miles
-$4K out the door
-1st Porsche

Already in the shop getting new TB, WP, hoses.

Congratulations on the purchase. Beautiful car and sounds like it was well maintained. Plus it's an '86.5, best of luck.

Very nice! Welcome to the group, by the way. This, in my own humble opinion, the best available online support available to 928 owners. Stay safe. Rumors are that you are not in the best neighborhood there in Iraq right now.
