Just picked her up from the transporter and I have to say I am a very lucky guy. She is awesome with hardley a blemish on the paintwork. Dash is perfect and she drives OK.
Shifter coupling is shot so only able to find 2nd and 4th. No issues with the synchros that I can find.
Better pictures to follow.

In very clean original condition - drives very nice. The paint is awesome and hardly a flaw. No cracks in the dash or pod. AC inop but Sean wll put that right. One of the rear cam tower seals has a leak. Shifter - front and rear couplers need replacing. No syncro issues at all. May have LSD. No sun roof, no rub strips - dam I got lucky.

Harder you work, the luckier you get. You deserve this one Roj!

One question: Are those wheels of the era? I'd sure like to see phone-dials on 'er.

Roger picked up a nice set of 16" phone dials from me recently. Bet they are going on that beauty. Great find Roger. T

3000Teeth, those wheels are 16" Design 90's (D90's as they are known around here) and are great track wheels for S4 and older 928's, but as the name suggests they came out with the '90 model year.

Ah yeah. Thanks. I realized when I saw them that they are OEM and somewhat coveted --now I know why.
