Regular maintenance has been done since the work listed below was done a year ago:
Adding the 24mm wheel spacers was not as simple as it could be if we wanted to keep the original 15" phone dial rims. The spacers that come with bolts on them will not fit the back of the phone dial rim. Therefore we had to go with a regular 24mm spacer with no studs but had to change out the studs to longer ones. That didn't seem so bad until we found out that basically you have to break down the rear shafts and press the knuckle out to get to the old studs. At this point we are not the type of people that would take all that apart and put it all back together without replacing CV's on shafts, Bearings, and emergency break. So a simple job got very evolved and expensive. We did the spacers, we did the CV joints, we did the bearings, we did all new emergency breaks with shoes, and we did longer studs, and replaced all pads with new front and back.
ENGINE, DRIVE TRAIN, SUSPENSION:
We inspected the front-end and replaced inner and outer front bearings. . .. (The rest of the front end was in really good condition and did not need anything else addressed).
We had a compression test done on the engine, Oil change on engine, oil change on manual transmission, oil change on rear-end. . ..(Went through the oil with a magnet and found no filings), Plugs, cap, rotor, wires, new electronic injectors, fuel Pressure regulators, new Fuel rails, New Gas Tank, and Both fuel pumps back at the tank, along with replacing all old rubber lines.
Disassembled the entire top of the engine (all intake), which gave us room to clean, paint and detail the engine compartment. Reassembled the entire intake system with new gaskets, rubber, vacuum lines, and with cleaned and rebuilt throttle body.

BODY AND EXTERIOR:
Car is original Guards Red Single Stage Paint
We took the original paint job on this car and gently rubbed it out and put a fine coat of wax on it. The exterior of the car has been maintained over the years by NICK ORSO'S BODY SHOP in Syracuse NY. The only part of the car that has ever been repainted was the front nose because of chips and scratches from highway driving.
The wheel wells and under side of the car have been LIGHTLY brushed, cleaned, and repainted.
All four rims have been sanded down and refinished.
Interior:
We completely took the entire inside of the car apart. Pulled seats, carpet, dash, interior panel's right down to the floor boards. This is the way I like to detail the inside of a 928.
We installed a new stereo system and replaced all factory speakers from 1980 with updated equipment including a nice 6 channel stereo with sub subwoofer. Cleaned, shampooed, detailed, all interior panels, carpet, dash pieces and treated with leather treatment. Reinstalled all interior cleaned and leather treated.
Installed custom LED lighting for the under areas of the inside floor and the dash display. The lights on the original dash are not bright enough for me. These lights can be turned on or off as desired.
We purchased new red carpets with back 928 lettering for front foot area to accent the front compartment.
Installed Panther shift knob with red leather boot
Replaced the switches for the windows.
All new windshield wipers all the way around
We completed total fuse box maintenance. Replacing all fuses and relays, cleaning and making sure all contacts are good, and that all electrical options work correctly.
We replaced all light bulbs in the entire car.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
