Come to the meet next weekend, give Sean 10 minutes and he can have you a short list of todo's I am sure!

For the AC, sounds like the board in the HVAC control has a bad relay, easy fix, I have done a few for local folks... Need to get it done ASAP though as it has been known to cause other problems if left alone without fixing.

Welcome to the DFW shark tank. I'm right around the corner from you in Coppell. Sean and Roger are great guys and always willing to help get you sorted out. The DFW/Austin folks are really great people to hang out with either at a monthly meeting or a Third Coast event so don't be shy.
See you at the next get together/ride.

Great looking car.

WOW, that's all I can say after looking at this car. Damn nice.

Got a list of the small things this one needs and I have to say it is in the top % of 928's I've played with. Well done Brad, you have a very nice car.

Default Thank you for all the kind words and advice

After having Sean take a look at the car I feel lucky to have it. We are going to work out a plan to have things sorted out. It still seems to be driving better every day. I will take and post some more pictures tomorrow.

I took these the day I got home from Florida. I still had the energy to detail the car after driving 9 hours that day.

I really don't mind saying. I paid less than his buy it now price. I then had to spend $1100 for new tires an oil change and brake flush because it hadn't been done in 4 years. I didn't want to drive it 1300 miles back to Texas with 4 year old oil and brake fluid. So when to owner took it to the shop for that they found the tires were almost bald in the middle in the front. So it cost me more to make it safe but that was worth the peace of mind. The owner said he had 47,000 in to it so I thought it was going to be near perfect. What I didn't realize when I bought it on e-bay the owner had neglected it by not driving it much for years. I think he went through some personal problems. He is supposed to send me a few items. I plan to bring her to the meeting next Saturday at the Dixie House.

We met last month at the 928 breakfast at Dixie House. Glad to see you closed the deal. See you on the 4th. Your car looks great!

I hope these are miles and not dollars. 47,000 dollars would be perfect I would imagine. Just curious......

That is a nice looking car--and the drive from FL must have been fun. Sean's seen a lot of 928s; him ranking it that high says a lot. Congrats!
