Default My "new" 1986.5 Garnet Red 5 speed

Gang,
Not a thread for a fancy 928S by any stretch. Tony asked me to make a thread to document what I will be doing with it. I bought the car in April 2014. Soon after I bought it and drove it twice, the front shifter ball cup popped out and since then it was forgotten and left in the garage. Fast forward to March 2015, I decided that I should get the car back on the road. The car was sent to a local Porsche specialist. After getting a new clutch, ball cup, rear coupler, and all new fuel lines, it is now cruising the streets of San Francisco. I bought the car from a perfect gentleman in Northern California. Here are a few pics and I will update from time to time.
Steve

The car came with a brand new Momo Club 4. The stock wheel did not come with it so I paid extra to buy the stock wheel. It is quite worn and the stitches are all loose. I bought some threads online and play Paul Champagne. I am still working on the wheel as of today. The time I spent on the wheel makes no economic sense but at least I can say I did it myself.

Thanks. I am not so sure if I like the Momo Club 4 though. I will be selling it and either go with the stock steering wheel or something else.

Bought a set of Champion RG5 forged 19 inchers. Meh..... The car looks too tall but I could not lower the front any further so it is back on the 16 incher disc wheels but I put my S4's 16x8 at the rear for now.

I agree with you on the momo wheel.
Great work on the stitching on the OE wheel!
Wifey says, how would you like some stitches?

Beatiful car.

Inside and out.

Great job on the steering wheel.

But I do like the black Momo sw. It gives the interior a different sportier look.
Not a fan of the 19" wheels either.

Congrats Steve.

I had a Momo 4 fitted some while back and just could,nt get away with it, so I re-stiched the stock wheel and fitted it back, it just feels so much better and looks in keeping with period.., In fact just recently Iv,e considered fitting the original "manholes" that I replaced with Cup 1,s .

BTW, car is gorgeous !
