Seems like just a few little things:


i had a few nests in the 87 i just got .ccar was sitting who knows how long.one big one was in the air box.also found debris under the rear seat cushions.i',m sure theres a few more waiting for me.

car already got bumped .found a nice chip in the rear bumper that wasn't there on sat.fortunatly bumper has to be repainted anyway but people really suck around here.i always park where no ones around to avoid that

found some melted wiring going to the rear interior light.going to have to remove rear panels to trace back and splice .funny thing is after replacing the fuse the circuit stayed hot with three wires...

Perhaps he simply learned how expensive it can be to repair a 928.....if you have to pay someone to do it !

GregBBRD

Make sure the engine doesn't have a bad thrust bearing....

blown 87

That was my first thought, what is the crank endplay.

This is not a new 928 owner, in fact he is fairly well known on here.

Colin, you sure you're not thinking of the user "smith 928" - who may be the brother of a certain twin turbo guy?

Sorry to hear you're selling Smyth1 - you spent an age looking, hopefully you'll know enough now to get the right 928 next time if you can stomach it.

Lizard928

oops, Your right on that one Hilton.

A transmission swap is a long day or a weekend. I'd pick up one from 928intl or that other one, flop it in and go!!
