Default New GTS owner!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the board, I'm Andrew. I say I'm a new GTS owner, but my father and I have had the car since March! I've been a member here for a long time, but just logged in and decided to make my first post.

Here are some pics

Thanks!

We've actually been in the process of "restoring" it to original condition...the original stereo is going back in as we speak. So far we've put the stock rims back on it, had some minor paintwork done, taken the huge aftermarket stereo out, put the original carpeting, spare tire, spare tire cover, and cargo net back in the hatch area, and some other little things.

Good work! You even included TWO pics upon your intro! Well done!!! Car looks great. Must be a '93 based on the wheels. Good work bringing it back to original condition! I am a big fan of that in general. Though there are some nice upgrades that I think really are upgrades. We are going to see some center console upgrades that will be awesome I think!

Tell us more about the car... where is it (and are you) located, miles, interior pics...

I LOVE my GTS's I bet you will love yours too!

haha, unfortunately it doesn't leave the garage very often. Once everything is completed on it, I will try to drive it everyday...with the exception of bad weather.

I'll post some more pics soon
By the way, it's an early model '93....built in '92.

I'm from Virginia Beach btw. My father and I had been looking for a 928 for a long time, and after a 2 year search, we finally found this GTS being serviced at a Porsche dealership in Alexandria, VA. The previous owner had died a year earlier and his widow wanted to get rid of the car, as she was actually afraid to drive it!

The car had chrome rims on it, a HUGE aftermarket stereo, some dents, minor scratches, the gear lever was broken, and bad paint swirls.

After alot of time and money, it is looking closer to the way it did when it rolled off the showroom floor.

Black/Black...looks good! My '94 was built in '93 IIRC...most of the '95's were built in '94 too I think. In Porsche land the change over is like May...so any car built after May is the next MY.

How many miles?
