Default We lost another brother
I just received news that we lost another die hard 928 guy. He was never on this forum but many of you are familiar with his work as he made our belly pans and now our belt tension tools. He's had many 928's over the years and his daughter asked me to help in selling his 94 GTS. It's a black-black AT with about 100k miles and currently has a problem with reverse. As I get more info and pictures I will post them. If you are seriously interested in the car I will put you in touch with her but I'd like to avoid putting too much on her plate at this time.

Wow I just posted an update to my thread about the belly pans and noted how nicely made and durable they were - he did great work! Very sad.

His company does very nice work and that should not change as his daughter is deeply envoled in the company and will continue to run it.

Sorry to hear of the loss Mark, give the family our best from the community.

BTW, one of their belly pans saved an S4 last week. Had a customers car been wearing a factory plastic one the oil pan would have been destroyed.

Sad - thoughts are with the family.

Mark, for those of us who are newer who is it? Feel free to PM me if needed. I am unsure if I know him but would like to confirm my thought. Thanks for posting.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear. My condolences to his wife Mary and the rest of his family.

I didn't know he still had the GTS - he had tried to sell it sometime ago.

Here's a picture of Don a few years back. He was very generous and sponsored my car for years in World Challenge. You will also notice Keith Widon and Dan Bise on the right.

Can you tell me the name of his company that did the belly pans, or how I can get them? Thanks,
