Well, it's been 9 months since the unfortunate accident and I haven't made much progress. (see previous posts) Too much to do and too little time with new job. So enough of the pity party, I'm posting where the the car is today. To me this car has three options, somebody takes the time to rebuild and they have a fast as hell track car, part it out or take the goodies and put into another body. Anyone that knows this car can testify to the sound, power and speed of the ride. It was a blast to drive. That being said, I'd rather sell whole car to the next party and let them figure out how they would proceed.

Here's all the goodies on the car:

Suspension
S4 suspension front and rear
cross drilled rotors
1 year old brand new steering rack ($500)
Plenty of pad lefts all the way around
stainless steel brake lines

Exhaust
1 year old new MSDS headers ($1000)

• 928 S4 seats - 8 way (ALL OF THEM WORK)

Damn this is such a sad situation. That is a sweet car. Good luck with the sale, that seems like a great price for all the things included.

Thanks for all the sympathetic comments; much appreciated. After 13 years of ownership and truly a lot of blood, sweat and tears it was very hard to write this fore sale post. Anyway, as a side, I recently reinstalled the radiator and started the engine. Sounds as good as ever.

Would you summarize what still needs to be done?

I'm always interested in unique cars, but need a bit more info on where you're at right now.

I've seen this car in Hell and it runs great!
Great price for all that's listed.

I recently purchased another (an 88 manual) so I'm out on this one

Good luck w/ your sale Brad

Sounds like you are so close after coming so far, but I completely understand the battle to be able to set aside time for it. Shame you couldn't send it up to the shop Andrew used for his Coke racer & let them finish it up for you.

Bumblebee has been sold. It went to a good home in our local car club group; hopefully to be reborn as a very fast track car. Thank you all for your support and interest. The 928 forum is the best!

He lives! Haven't seen you post in a while! Yes the motor had a good run with me! Off to another good home fortunately!

I'm still around!
That motor has a cross-drilled crank in it. Can"t wait to see it rolling again.

Well, I got the wheels back on and fired her right up after nine months. (I put a bottle of stabil and techron in the tank and kept her on a battery tender). I drove her off to her new home ...fortunately only a mile or so away. I got a lot of strange looks from the neighbors!!!

To help with the pain of losing her, I went out and bought a new 2015 cayman s!
