Took her on a nice, quick drive to the airport this morning. Makes coming home extra special.

Hang on ... I have never seen a convertible 928. Are my eyeballs okay?

Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is Pete's 928 Spyder.
And it is SWEET!

I was a fairly busy little bee today; took apart the heater control, replaced the mixing levers, replaced the bulb at long last and checked the AC relay (still good). I'm going to put a booster relay in the front to run the fan and the compressor since I think that's too long a run and too much voltage drop to do from the control.

Also fixed the passenger front and rear seat latches so they fold back, just needed a bit of tapping with a hammer then some grease.

Swapped out the cruise control computer, now have actual working cruise control!

And I'll replace the footwell vacuum bladder so I have at least two of the four servos working (the other is the outside air flap; the defroster and comb filter are shot and blocked off)

Getting there, one step at a time....

Curious about your dash refinishing. Who did it, it is done in leather or vinyl? I don't see any defroster vent holes, have they been covered up?

I attempted that myself, that's my 2nd go at it, a 3rd would complete it. I making defroster vents out of wood, I'll cut them once the wood is ready to insert.
It is Vinyl, being my 1st go, I wanted to be cheap incase I did a terrible job.

That is the end goal, currently doing some practice on the center consol and glove box lid.
