Well, not sure if this quite qualifies. I didn't do any of the work, it was all done with Greg Nettles, and it wasnt' done today, but I did just get my car back after many months of it getting worked on. Here's the list.

Complete top end refresh:
new knock sensors, temp sensors, hall sensors, cam position sensors
new MAF, new TPS, new ICV.
installed Porkensenior, new water pump with plastic impeller,
powder coated intake,
new shocks (tired of waiting on Bilsteins so went with Boge)
delrin steering rack bushings
Greg Brown hoses all around
new 24lb injectors
refurbished AC
Sharkvent
Sharktuned
new shifter bushings
upgraded GTS bellhousing, new master and slave clutch
new brake master cylinder
Sharkwoofer (10inch)
In tank pump delete (broken of course)
New PSD pump and filter

What am I forgetting Greg?

Needless to say. The car is running strong. It feels top-notch. I can only assume this is what it might have felt like coming off the showroom floor.

Dan, beautiful car - I was dropping mine at Greg's when you picked yours up - hope the ride home was uninterrupted by flashing blue lights.

Not really selling. But if someone offered me 10k cash, I'd have to sell.

Car's worth more than that. Hell, it's got a new clutch.

A whole bunch of stuff, it is IMHO the nicest 928 GT in the US.

I will post a list when I get the bill done, but it seems like every thing we looked at was not about to fail, but showed significant wear, every seal in the motor was replaced except the head gaskets and the crank cradle, new Porsche motor mounts, rebuilt rear axles, OPG, new rack boots, PS lines, PS filter, Gregs hoses on the PSD, we got the complete unit from Germany.
Super bearings, just a huge box of stuff, even the covers, spacers and shock buffers on the shocks.

I did miss a couple of things that Dan found on his way home, but we will take care of them when it comes back for a check up.

Come grab the one of my nice 86.5, bring me your rebuilt one: easy fix.

Or, easier: bring it by Saturday afternoon (really only takes about 15m to remove, including Jack-stand placement), we'll run up to Boostlogic & rebuild it.

DId you yank around on the shift rod from under to verify a lot of play??

On topic: I didn't do jack to my 928 today.

Jim- those lifters look awfully, uh, dark. Whose cams?
