Not id the wife has any say in it. I amortized the costs including full interior and repaint over 1-3-5-10 years. With the 87 I'm working on as well it probably will take 10 years. But thanks for the optimism.

I'm starting to dig the Pasha. I'm torn though between redoing it with cork leather all around or keep the Pasha. I'm leaning toward the Pasha about 98 percent.

Just remember... well informed questions breed well informed answers.

And count me in for another Pascha vote!
....And yes, it's Pascha. Don't make Nicole open up a can on you!

I also need to find a inspection station that knows the 928 and won't throw up and fail it!
Hi Neil,
That would be great. Give me enough heads up if you come and maybe the other guys can get together for dinner or lunch somewhere.
You may want to ask Landseer or Jadz928 about inspections as I haven't had mine inspected yet.

It will be a long boring ride this year. Hope your OK with that. I have a degree program to finish and 16 weeks of Army Signal School coming up. I do however hope to have the fuel system and engine started in the coming weeks.
I'm in the process of inventorying the parts it's missing and taking the interior apart to get a project list going.

Charles,
Don't take too much apart until your ready to dig in.
Then you'll have an overwhelming pile of parts.... it's psychologically disconcerting.

I use this advice on on my own car projects and it helps not get in too deep.

I'm thinking you meant don't. I read you. I'm just pulling and testing items for usability or that I know won't go back.
Its necessary grunt work until I feel comfortable with the workings of the CIS and prep for engine firing.

Is that the stock air pump for your car. I have seen that pump hanging around my shop for years wondering where it came from. I did have a 1978 928 back in 1982. I was wondering if it was from that car. Just memories of the past.

More Photos
Went out tonight and while the strut lock nut for the Nissan were marinating.
and checked a few things and took a few more photos.

Original keys present except inside rear compartment.

Tool kit missing Pliers.

Looks like I need a distributor cap and button.
Most hoses
Entire muffler system looks pretty bad.

Rear boots need work

Looks like oil is leaking on my floor. It appears to be coming from where the
manifold meets the front muffler.
