Muy Excellente! That is some beautiful work. Just seems wrong not to have cosmoline somewhere though

Joe, I have said it before, and I'll say it again, you have one of the most well kept and gorgeous 928's on the planet!! Hope I never have to face off with you at a Concours event!

Joe - Your car looks like it belongs in a museum! Just incredible - I did a bunch of "right click, save as" to serve as inspiration and motivation. Thanks for posting so many great pics. 
I saw a jug of acetone in one pic, is that one of your cleaners for the metal bits? I'm also curious as to what you used on the cosmoline.

Please tell us all about the components used? What coilovers are those? What about all the other components....please do tell. Your car is absolutely gorgeous. I love the exhaust as well.
Warm regards,
Stephen

Just went through your photobucket pictures and... 
This is the most beautiful 928 I have ever seen.
And with a lots of great performance parts too.
Simply amazing!
And please, tell me you're not gone drive this car. I mean maybe only to make some Concour d'élégance.
I can only imagine how mutch time and money was put in that car!
Congradulations Joe.
Great garage too!

Thanks for the answers Joe. Here is something that I find very interesting. I saw this same set-up in pictures a couple days ago on a GT3 RSR. It's the coil over coil. Very interesting because they are clearly different stiffness/compressability and probably act almost like a 2nd the shock absorber. Not only that, one compresses more than the other but both at the same time, really interesting.
Notice the comparison between the standard single coil spring from the vendor and Joe's coil over coil with the nice big washer seperating the 2, not to mention the impressive thick padded top bits.
Really something (if the big pic bothers anyone I could remove it, but wanted to show the comparison)
