Andrew,

Beautiful car - but then, I'm a bit prejudiced - Ha. Look forward to meeting you, and seeing your car at Frenzy. In the meantime, please consider joining 928 Owners Club: www.928OC.org for all the info.

Cheers,

Gary Knox

Welcome aboard!

Lived in the area when I was in the Navy and going to ODU. My in-laws still live there.
Cheers

The previous owner put that in...It did absolutely nothing for me, so I just pulled it off.

Cool! It's a great area, especially near the bay...the oceanfront gets a little bit crowded with the tourists...locals stay by the bay.

I actually go to Lake Gaston during the entire summer so I'm never around during the tourist season.

My dad actually works with a gentleman who went to ODU... Doug Perry (the Patricia and Douglas Perry Library on campus)

Beautiful car! Be sure to research thrust bearing failure here on the 928 forum and get the flexplate released and check the crank end play. Very important on cars with automatic transmission.

I remember talking to you over at Ray's. The car looks so much better with the stock Cup wheels on it.

Andrew welcome to the GTS club - nice wheels and they look familiar.
Awesome job on returning this beautiful car to its full glory.
Can't wait to see her in person.
