Bob: I know this is a few years ago, but did you have the Boges rebuilt/remanufactured?
Sorry to bother you but I am new at these things and have a 1984 928S. Trying to keep it original

Well, it's not so much what I did TO my 928 today, as what I did FOR my 928 today.

I bought a low speed cordless polisher so I can get a real shine on the paint at last.
Of course the temperature then rose WAY past the recommended range for applying polish and wax - 39 degrees Celsius is just too damn hot.

Kevin...did you remove the lower hood catch? I need to plate my hinges, upper latch and light assembly. Its the lower riveted receiver that has me worried.

Stuck with red. Second thick coat tomorrow...

Yes removed them. Even bought Porsche rivets for assembly later.
