Great job Randy. You lucked out for such a nasty event, being able to minimize the damage and get it back together so well. I trust it is still a clean title car too? (I haven't gone back and read thru everything, but I don't recall it being totalled, just damaged).

Randy, that's one of the best looking engine bays I've seen. Congratulations on turning a near total disaster into a thing of beauty.

Randy, that thing looks awsome. I love the cross brace. Can you tell us where it came from? It is the best one I have seen yet. I am so glad you were able to save it. I still morn the loss of my 88 even though I have the 86.5 running great. They are just 2 different cars.

A 928, I knew it! Same thing happened to my 928 in 1983. Chased electrical gremlins for the next 18 years! Good luck!
