So a few of you know I picked up a bit of a bargain 968CS last summer. I've had it of the road over the winter doing lots of jobs and cleaning -

Wheel bearings all round
New brakes at the front
Overhauled rears
Braided hoses
Fuel filter and pipes to it
Front splitter
EMC wheel spacers

Heres the results -

WOW, looking good. If you get bored, can I send the 928 down next winter? :lol: I have to admire your patience and attention to detail, it's something I don't have. As soon as the car is going again, I just keep getting in it and driving. I wish I had the patience to put that much work in.

That's looking good. You've been a busy lad for a few months.

Looks good now, especially under the front wheel arches. Big Blacks on the list of things for me to do aswell.

Quite a bit cheaper than M030 from Exeter OPC.

Looks great, you must have worked hard to get all that done over the winter, have you got a heated garage to work in ?

Are they progressive springs on the front shocks? Should help settle the drive on bumpy roads. Really clean, really smart looking
