As discussed in my previous articles, the 928 has been treated to a “rolling restoration”. It came to me in relatively good condition and there was certainly no need to tear it apart and take it off the road for an extended period. Having contemplated putting it up for sale soon, I took a serious … Continue reading
This spring, I decided to do a cosmetic refresh of my engine compartment. This was part of my “rolling restoration” effort with this car. BTW, I had already done a “top end refresh” (discussed here) quite a few years ago. This effort was necessary to make the car mechanically sound as far as fuel delivery, … Continue reading
I had really been concentrating my efforts in 2021 on the restoration of my 1963 Jaguar Etype. See here. But as cold weather set in around Christmas, I decided to retreat to a heated garage where I could perform some much needed maintenance on my Porsche 928. In particular, there were fluid leaks that had … Continue reading
A number of years ago, in 2015, I repaired the leather dash on my 928. It had developed “eyebrows” along the front edge of the defrost vents. The leather shrinks badly and pulls out from under the edge of the vents. It is not a good look. That repair is discussed here. In the last … Continue reading
Being the dead of winter, working on paint and bodywork on the Etype is problematic. So I have turned my attention to my Porsche 928. It has developed a power steering fluid leak and frankly, I had quit driving it for fear of a fatal engine compartment fire. Amazingly, after months of sitting, it pretty … Continue reading

Last weekend I was able to take the Porsche 928 to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) which is fortunately about 1 1/2 hours drive from my house. I have been to VIR many times with my Porsche 944 track car and even a few types with the E-Type, but never with the 928 till now. The … Continue reading
This last summer I treated and dyed all the leather upholstery items in the interior of my 1986 Porsche 928. See that story here. Of course, as I knew would happen, the shiny new leather made the tired old carpet look even worse. Something had to be done! After a minimal amount of research on … Continue reading
I had the misfortune of doing serious damage to the right rear wheel on my Porsche 928 during spirited driving. See that story here. During this event I was forced to remove the space saver spare tire from it’s long term home and inflate it on the road side with the small pump that I … Continue reading
I was out for a spirited drive in the NC mountains last weekend. A rock at the apex of a corner reached out and re-arranged my rim. I got the car slowed down and parked on a level spot. Time to see how that 30 year old spare was feeling. Much to my amazement it … Continue reading
