My First Porsche

Welcome JV - I have an 83 and many parts are similar except the engine.

Glad to have you - I think you will have a great experience owning a 928, and this group of folks is here to help you with the friends and advice part!

I am approaching my 1 year anniversary of 928 ownership.....it's getting to where I can really enjoy it more and more by taking it to 928 get togethers and local PCA events.....lots of fun.

BTW - the wheels look original even though they are black. Do you know how they were painted and do they look good close up? I understand if they are the Anodized kind, that they need to have that removed/sanded before painting. Just curious. The all Black knight rider look can be cool. Maybe a touch of Red here and there...

Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Strat! The PO said he had them dipped, and they doo look nice, but it's just not for me. Funny thing, my brother also mentioned that it had a Knight Rider feel to it, lol.

So my box of goodies came in today! She now has all new hood and hatch struts, which is awesome. However, I didn't know what was entailed in replacing all the lights. I wasn't quite prepared for removing the front and rear bumper covers, lol. I'll probably do that this weekend.

I was also going to replace the beading.. but she is going to be getting a full paint job in the near future and my plan is to remove as much as I can (bumper covers, mirrors, fenders, etc..) and have the shop paint all those pieces and the car separately. I figure replacing all the weather stripping and beading should be done after that. Thoughts?
