Newbie from the frozen north checking in and saying hey.

Congratulations, on your purchase. Great looking car, and condition looks good too. My 78 has the same interrior and is red. What makes you think the car was originally black. I see some red paint missing under the hood, along inner fenders, but don't see any black underneath, and it looks like there is some paint missing on the drivers fender, though it could be a reflection or something, and I'm not sure if I see any black there either.

Where did you have to go to get her? You say 1000 miles, so I'm assuming it was in Canada or Washington state?

Anyhow, looks like a great project. Look forward to following along. Another great resource for 928 info is Rennlist...a lot of knowledgeable folks over there too.

Well the owner told me it was originally black and I can see black paint showing from places the red didn't adhear to. The car was on the other side of the state, so didn't have to travel to Canada or Washington,. Alaska is a big ol state and the miles rack up. It takes days to travel from one end to the other. Thanks for the kind words and look forward to driving when the temps are warmer than -25f.
