For the new location, you would have had to commute south to Vaughan....
I love the looks I get the odd time I show up there.
Are you in Newmarket?
That makes sense!
I work there and live in the sticks just East. Wife was brought up in Aurora. Do you ever go to the cars and coffee? It never seems to fit in to my Sunday morning agenda
Drove it down to the keg mansion for a meat treat

Reason: What did I do to my 928 today
Installed the front seats (working nice and smooth)
Reinstalled all interior carpeting, padding and rear seats
Installed the last of my recovered pieces from Robert Budd
Put the key in the ignition after a ton of electrical work and everything worked. Headlights, interior lights, radio, hazards. Still need to try starting the car, but want to do so when I can drive it around for a bit.
And most importantly - the wheels have touched the ground for the first time in 8+ months. Going to let the suspension settle a bit and then torque up the sway bar bolts.
Got up, drove over to the Cars & Coffee type gathering in Scottsdale. Pulled my stock looking 83 in and popped the hood. Walked away to look at everyone else`s cool ****. Came back later to a group of people looking at the 928 and saying things like.....dam, that thing is a V8.....and its supercharged....what year is this thing?...I`ve never seen one of these... Look at the window sticker on this thing...pretty dam expensive back in 83...what is it? lol amazing how much attention a 33 yr old cool car gets . just sayin .

Finished installing Greg Brown's fuel line kit I was originally a little perplexed as everything was backwards with my set up in the rear of motor. I reached out to Greg who was very helpful. I shot him some photos and he informed me a PO had put regulator and dampener on backwards. Hence why directions made no sense. So I set to reversing the set up back to manufacture's design. Good news is it ran even when it was installed backwards for the 8 years I ran it without issue.
So it's right now. I've included shot of old backwards setup as well. Thanks again Greg Brown!

That's weird, John.
Was there any record of them being changed, they sure look to be original. Wonder if it was this way since birth?
Finished putting the !@#!@#$$%!#@ chin spoiler on (10 hours and 10 cut up fingers later) and installed the newly repaired grill. Also drove it to work for the first time in six months!
Performing the first oil change on my '83 S I noticed the alternator tensioner assemble was missing. I replaced it from a donor 4.5 engine we had sitting in the shop.

Any tips or secrets? I hope to do the same with my '82.

Put it out in the sun for a while before you try to install it.
There are a couple spots, mainly where it goes up along the wheel arch, where you have to tuck a tab around the back of the edge, while simultaneously making a stud go into the hole.
If it's nice and warm, it's noticeably softer.
A pair of smooth jawed pliers helps "persuade" the studs through far enough to start the nuts.
Don't lose any of the hardware. Some of the washers have a side ground down to fit in the inside of the fender right.
An extra pair of hands helps. If they are attached to a brain that's done this before, it's a bonus.
