Analog clock
Phone Dials
Cam shaft o rings
New injectors
New Engine wiring harness 928 MS
Recent TB/WP (Will need to check it out.)
New Borla Cat Back Stainless exhaust. car sounds great when running.
Transmission shifts fine.
New trans cable
New Eibachs
new alternator
Slotted Rotors
new alt cooling hose - not installed need to get one Alternator is suspect now. Called the seller and asked that sionce he had reciepts for new items did he have them.
He said the alternator was new, and he thought the hose was another
New interstate battery that bead


Interior almost perfect.
Need front seats
Complete tool kit
Roof liner install

Gauge cluster has issues
Needs Rubber all around
Sun roof leaks doesn't work missing motor and needs seal kit

PS leak - looks like pump needs rebuild

Paint
lots of covered spots.some areas are dull. looks good at 15 feet.

Still pending him getting title . I have given him the option of re-listing it if he wishes as I negotiated better pricing.
If not, then when he gets title, I will go pick the 85 up on the 18th.

Right now its two. Donald and I have flexible terms from the beginning. If he want the option of listing it again, then he can if not when the title arrives. I'll stand by my agrement and buy it. So for now. 2.

Looks like the song of the 928 Sirens of yore have gotten a hold you, but good. Sounds like you're going in ***** deep, man. to your madness. Enjoy the path.

You need a GTS to round out your collection so you will have all the body styles of 928!!!

That will probably never happen unless I get a pay increase or another deployment overseas . It is a goal of mine . You and Landseer are hard to keep up with.

Mine are rescues with all the warts.

James is in a league of his own.
Well, Rod has a few, too.


Hope you took notes during timing belt school Charles.
