928 GTS project

[MisterCorn]

As I have no self control and a row of garages, I've bought myself a 928 GTS to have a play with. I got it for about half the price of other GTS for sale in the UK and on first impression it won't need a ton of work to get it properly sorted.










I'll post details on what I get up to, but not planning on it being a major project.

I don't have a good history for just doing what is actually needed, but we shall see....

Superb machine, I did timing belt, idler pulleys, water pump brake discs, front springs shockers on my pals well used manual 928S many years ago. The water pump was scary with numerous bolt heads breaking off but got there in the end. I suspect parts can be an issue given the limited popularity and likely backup compared to the 911`s continued popularity.. I think K-Jetronic spares are becoming sticky too.. Don`t know for sure.

Hope you derive a lot of pleasure out of the 928 experience.. :thumb:

Nice colour as well :thumb: I have been keeping an eye out for a 928 good find on the GTS there was a nice looking red s4 went through the auctions a couple of weeks ago which looked good value at 12k also a lot of dross about they are certainly a brave pill to take on however you are the very man for the job looking forward to this project.

Awesome purchase, I'll need to come around and have a look at it. Two of my 944's engine in that, even looks the same colour, Azure Blue, LY5D?

It's a good job you are good with wires.

Nice one :thumb:

Always had a soft spot for the 928 and IMO the design's hardly aged at all.

Such a cool car Martin :thumb:
I worry about all those ecu's but then you're an electronics engineer so scrub that :grin:

Got it up in the air for the first time so I can take a look at it.



First impressions are that I wish when I looked under a 996 it would look this good, it is all pretty clean.

I think that this exhaust joint might need undoing, doesn't look too challenging.



I need to get to this cover plate to view the end of the driveshaft and it covers some of the bolts.



Suspension looks to be in good condition. Never realised they were adjustable height as standard.



Rest of the underside is also pretty good, but it does look like there is a cover missing.

WOW, looks remarkably good and at least in the pictures, the rubber bushes look ok. Doubt many modern motors will still be going strong at the same age.

What's the plan now?

 

[MisterCorn]

I've sprayed the exhaust bolts with penetrating oil, going to undo the two front exhaust flanges and SAI pipe, drop the exhaust a little at the front so I can get the inspection cover off to view the flex plate.
