Well spotted, that pic was from the first time in June.

928 continues to be my daily driver (although it only gets driven about once a week) while the Smart languishes in parts.

Finally possess a title for my car. Purchased the car in a Midwest state. My state of residence Maine would not issue a title for a car over 25 years old. Contacted the Midwest state with existing title signed over to me and they said getting it titled there without registering the car in that state would be problematic. After 10 years in Maine I now relocated to the Empire State. All they wanted was the car's current reg and I finally hold a title on the car.

Hah !
Actually less expensive to reg in NYS. Maine based reg cost on a mil rate of the original sale price.

Was so lucky to have Sean Ratts do several fixes, picked it up on Saturday and tore *** across Dallas then down home to Austin - lots of power!

Pulled passenger side brakes and rotors for inspection, removed wheels and moved them to my basement for winter.

I was just thinking of doing something like that. Where did you get the gasket material?

Drives me nuts! Working on it later today and cleaning what I can and getting the intake back on and plug wires done. The good thing is while I cleaned the nest, I replaced all the vacuum lines leading to the throttle body. This guy must have been huge though. He dragged ***** and nuts and bolts into the nest...from other cars!
