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 do like the Pascha interior. I remember having a few sets of those seats years ago that I basically had to "give" away because no one wanted them. They went along with all the junk factory stereo's that got taken out. That was the late '80's early '90's. Things are sure different now. Good luck on getting her all done.

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.

Welcome aboard.
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.

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.
