Hmmm, guess the hand brake doesn't work. Does the brick come with it?

Gotta get that sunroof closed all the way.

The seats are looking like they are just now broken in and comfortable!

A number 4 would be awesome!

lol, went with a friend to go pick up a POS dirt track car he bought, Tuesday evening...told the wife I was going to go haul another car....I thought she was going to kill me before I had a chance to say it wasn't another 928!

restore it, at least to fun driver condition.

Kinda want to do a nice body and paint and dash and seats . I never complete them . It's from California it's really clean underneath . I need to find a good interior guy that will redo seats cheap....I guess every 928 owners that!
