Wouldn't happen to have black leather rear interior quarter trim panels would you?

I do, but they're warped pretty badly. I'll post pics.

Thanks Brett. Sorry about the fire, that sux! I really just need to harvest the leather. I'm thinking the speaker holes may be different than on a 90 MY 928?

So sorry to read about an engine fire on one of your cars

What do you think caused it, had you done any recent work?

I did an intake refresh about a month before the fire. I replaced the fuel lines at that time with a couple from Greg Brown and the rest stock. I habitually checked for fuel leaks every day for the first couple weeks. It's hard to tell now what might have caused it.

It was gut-wrenching. I had so much wrench time in this car, slowly bringing it back after it had sat for several years prior to my purchase.

This arrived yesterday, so I feel a little better about it now:

Does anyone know anything about this car? Bought it in San Diego. I'd like to learn the history of the one-off wide-body build and the engine build.

IIRC, the popups are from a 930 slant nose and the motors are from a Supra or something like that.

Brett,
I'm not a fan of the older body style 928s, but this one looks badass!!!!
the pop ups set it all off, and it all goes together. It's a beauty!!

So sorry about the fire!
