nice! Im trying to decide if I want to go Pascha or the ridiculous pinstripe velour that was original...
I like the pinstripe as well. The car needed something to brighten up the interior as this was originally a black on black car. I have a set of Pascha in it now and really liked the look.

Thank you! It has been a lot of fun. Despite the rat rod looks, paint is in the future

Went with black and beige, mostly because I have a nice set of used seats in the car to match. Thanks!
The seat covers and door cards arrived Monday. This pics do not do them justice.
The workmanship is excellent. I was a little let down by the thickness of the grainy vinyl. Much thinner than I have seen in typical seat upholstery but I am not expecting these to undergo any wear testing I am sure Rob used the best materials available. Likely won't install these till the fall. No rush!
Got the 79 out over the weekend for a local car show. This will likely be one of the last public outings for quite some time. I have enjoyed the "fresh from the barn" appearance but it's time to address the seats and most importantly.....
the paint!
I will start a complete disassembly in the coming months and we will be doing a full paint I am both excited to have it progress and scared for my wallet. Its getting the "i am never selling it " treatment so it's not for the faint of heart.
Follow along with me, I am going to need emotional support
Car looks great Guy, and soon to be even better. Good luck with the tear down and repray. I can’t wait to see the results as this is one thing I’ve thought hard about doing and will need to sometime in the future. Please post lots of pics of the prep and paint stages if possible.
That pasha color combo you have is my favourite, nice choice.

Thank you! The car needs Pascha to break up the sea of black!!
Logged about 70 miles yesterday. Enjoying the ride for one last time before she is completely torn apart yet again.
Prepare to be bombarded with disassembly and reassembly shots.
Will be a busy winter as I have an 80 924 project as well
Just a quick update........Been SLOWLY disassembling the 928. Slowly, because of a back injury and a 924 project that was taking up my limited time.
Should have it completely taken apart by weeks end. The area you see stripped of paint was just a test area to see what we were dealing with on the rear quarter panel.
Some one did some extremely odd fill work to the quarter panel for no discernible reason. Beyond that, no surprises as of yet. The rear bumper and front bumper appear to have never been off the car before.
Mirrors and window trim today, Glass should be out by weeks end
Nothing glamorous about this disassembly work. Rear windows coming out today. This may have been the hardest one I have done. The glue was strong and progress was slow. I swear these earlier windows are more difficult than the later cars. I was happy that the rust issues were minor and strictly surface. Hope to have remaining glass out this weekend
I only get about 2 hrs per week to work on the 79 vetting it ready for paint. I spent some time harvesting the front end from one of my parts cars. The fenders on the 79 had some stress cracks ahead of the front wheel arches. Why fix when I have undamaged ones to prep and install?
Going to start stripping the aluminum parts over the next month. Been fun so far and nearly ready to start the actual prep work.
