Nice install on the sub-woofer and amp. He should really post a picture of the hatch.

This car was for sale a few months back-recognize the pictures. Not sure if it is the same seller or if this seller used the prior owner's shots...

Looks like the front seats might have been recovered. The drivers seat looks a touch over stuffed maybe. For sure a Rob Budd hood liner! Mine just came yesterday.

Someone took great care of the looks underhood for sure! Looks great and has the awesome Cup I wheels already installed too! SO NICE!

Congrats and welcome. Nice looking car. From the pictures it looks like the original fuel lines are still on this car. Contact Roger Tyson (ROG100) or Greg Brown (GregBBRD) here on Rennlist via private message for a set of replacements. Ancient fuel lines are one of the top 2 causes of buring these cars to the ground. Don't let your new beauty be one of them. Second, contact Jerry Feather (also here on Rennlist) and order one of his replacement cowl covers. This will keep debris out of the area between the windshield and the engine compartment and help protect the wiper motor and parts of the HVAC/heating system from water and damage.

Be sure to post more pics after you take delivery. And have a knowledgeable 928 mechanic give it a once-over if you haven't already.

Mike

Wow - you aren't kidding. Those hi-res pics show those fuel lines to be in very sad shape.

Otherwise, looks very nice. Congrats and enjoy your new car!

Trailer only until fuel lines, timing belt, and thrust bearing check are done. In fact, don't even pay money for it until the thrust bearing end play is checked.

It worries me that someone went to the trouble of painting the intake and the cam covers, and put those fuel lines back on. I will see Bob's Yikes and raise him a holymoly!
