As recommended by a well respected source here on RL I removed the powder coated crank pulleys and cleaned all mating surfaces down to bare metal. I also learned that PC is a very tough material!

I reassembled my passenger door and detailed the car. Also build a new spare tire deck for the rear since mine was missing.
Disassembled the driver door so I can replace the window motor.
Next mission: Vacuum leak. Not looking forward to this one.....

I just hit the 38,000 mile mark just a few months before her 25th birthday.

Replaced the diff oil with Castrol 75W90 and removed the useless '80s Alpine alarm and as much of the wiring that I could get at!

Taught myself how to roll my rear fenders. Passenger side first so I wouldnt have to see a botched job. Good choice on my part. Fender on drivers side is great. Passenger side, not so much. Little wrinkly.

Used the 928OC fender roller tool. That just paid for my year's membership.

Installed the new CPS.
Cleaned up the 'V' - small amount of oil residue from one of the crank vents that came out of the MAS housing when I had removed and replaced the intake three week ago.
Re-attached the throttle wheel bracket.
Grounds were in very good shape - emoried them just a bit.
Installed the new ISV into the throttle body.
Received the Loctite 574 this afternoon and will replace the intake and seal the sealing faces of the fuel rails tomorrow.

Removed the rear half of the interior in preparation for dash removal for a complete HVAC system rebuild and complete interior sound deadening and refoaming. Getting closer to making it a car I would drive long distance, or at least to any local 928 meet. :P

Fixed a very annoying buzzing sound coming from the dash..... turns out if was the black/blue vacuum check valve that is connected to the brake booster :-)

Now to sort out that darn battery drain....
