So what did you do to your 928 Today......
#7006
I wet sanded and wiped down the entire car again, then shot it with a second coat of 2k epoxy. Vacuumed out the interior and replaced all of the fuses with new, after cleaning both contacts for each.

It all started when I noticed coolant under the car and decided to finally replace the 29 year old radiator with 928 Motorsport unit; then while I was in there - replaced the water pump, timing belt, dialed in the cams and upgraded to a Porkententioner, new seals, all new drive belts & hoses. Also sent out the MAF to be recalibrated. Today I did the final bolt-ups, filled her with coolant up and fired up the 928 S4. I'm very happy to say there were no leaks and after a good warm-up, she pulls like a freight train!

Seat back in
Not a perfect match but not bad. Guess I should clean the old leather to get the color closer. Anyway, replacing a couple bad panels is a reasonable thing to do if you try to budget for non-essentials for your old cars. Funny but you don't think about seats making the car feel better but it does. Gained a healthy respect of upholstery installers. Putting the skins back on was a bit of work. Just one more off the list of deferred repairs. :cheers

Out of winter sleep today and driven for first time in 6 months. While car was up I noted a screw in a brand new front tire. Plugged it for now. Also today installed Greg's alternator.

I picked up a 5sp transaxle and a bunch of miscellaneous parts with my 3 cylinder Geo Metro, I'm going to guess that's never been done before
The gentleman said this was a 928 roof rack but I don't see anything like this while searching. It is tubular aluminium construction, very light weight. Any ideas?

to Crank or not to crank
I timed the cams using the PK32 V'r but wanted to check with you guys whether on not I can crank it over with the 14 pin connector and the other harness behind the power steering reservoir disconnected. Alternator is still under the car on a bucket and none of the belts are on. Plug wires off along with caps and rotors. I would also pull fuse 42 for the fuel pump. What do you think?

Fixed some intermittent problems with my driver's side seat movement and the seat/mirror memory switch backlighting [see details]. Annoying to have to waste a lot of time on that.
(Executive summary: bad solder joints in power seat control unit 928.618.134.02).
Sorry, something like this really shouldn't pass QA:

'Tis the season, alright. Are the connections different on older models? I charged mine yesterday, after refitting a new compressor, drier and expansion valve. Low pressure (blue) is inconveniently under the radiator hose near the jump post. Clumsily got a freeze burn on my right hand, which made the hot water burn less noticeable.

good to see I am not the only one with bad hood shocks.

Finally got that last bolt out of the water bridge. 3 weeks of penetrating oil and tapping with a hammer. So what I thought was a bad gasket on the filler neck ended up to be a breather hose. Doing an upper end refresh anyway, I was just surprised.
