When after parking the 928 in the street or in the garage and walking away, you can`t avoid looking back once or twice just to confirm it is beatiful

After reading all of Seth's how to disassemble and fix parts of a running driver, you followed too closely.

and end up with this^

When almost every t-shirt you own is from a 928 gathering.

When you buy a 911 of the same era just to understand what the fuss is all about.

When you take time out from looking after your elderly father after a major operation, to visit one of the largest private car/plane/motorbike/toys etc... collections in the world, (National Transport and Toy Museum, Wanaka Otago) and all you can focus on is spotting a 928...

After countless hundreds of "vehicles" and 2hrs of your life later, you spot it... not one, but TWO!!!

Oh the excitement, Oh, what a looser...

Bob -- your pictures reminded me:

When you take careful pictures of the factory red and yellow QC paint marks so you can put new ones there exactly the same when you reassemble.

Does anyone know what the paint codes were for the QC colours and how many bristles there were in the brush?

I'm hoping that the same colors in cheap nail polish will do. The "correct number of bristles" is "however many come in the nail polish bottle I'm using."

I have only red on engine bolts and fittings, fuel system connectors and brake bolts. There are both red and yellow on the engine cross-brace bolts.

When you anxiously keep an eye out for this thread just to see what everyone else says, and you confirm your not a complete nut.
Everything is going to be OK. I says to me.
