Hello all fellow Porsche enthusiasts!

Just spent a year restoring a 1984 928 S2 Manual but also lost my job in the recession.

Porsche restoration is hard going with a £0 budget. :(

But I've saved enough money for 1 tank of petrol so I'm now looking forward to driving her for the first time next month! :P

Wish me luck.

Car Information >

Grand Prix White with Navy Blue Leather Interior
Only 34,000 miles on the clock with full history and every document ever issued to it.
Whole car is now concourse apart from the engine bay which is untouched.
Factory fitted; ABS; LSD; Sun Roof; Air-Con; Wide Rear Track; Bucket Seats.
My upgrades >
New S4 Front Suspension; Koni/Eibach Adjustable Dampers Front / Back; S4 Front Brakes; GTS Rear Brakes;
GTS wing mirrors; GTS Cup II Wheels.

I've learned a lot over the past year and hope I can contribute to the forum and meet up with some of you in the future.

Once I find a job. :wink:

Cheers
Ben

Hi Ben. I am new here as well. Not in any club yet but was PCGB until I sold my car, now I am undecided!

Your 928 looks amazing! what was it like when you got it and was it a real nightmare to sort out? you may have seen I am after a project car which looks good but hasnt run for a while.

Sorry to hear about the job situation though, its happened to me 3 times in about 10 years and I have always moved on and gone to better, so you could end up with even more cash to spend on the car soon!! Just think about that! Best of luck, Pete
