Finished 1989 928S4/5-speed
Following are very recent photos of my 1989 928S4/ 5-speed. By this point, if you have followed along, you have witnessed the amount of work and passion put into this project. It is a special car to me; 20 years ago, I drove my infant son around nightly in the 928, allowing the burble of the V8 to whisk him away to sleep as precious little else worked...he was destined to be a 'car guy' like his Dad!
​
disclosures:
The car has 73,500 miles on the odometer, but every mechanical is as fresh as a new 928S4. In fact, the car is better than when I first owned it in '95-'97. Over time, I had forgotten how much Cosmoline was sprayed on the undercarriage by the factory, and I cannot even begin to recall how much time was spent removing every last bit of it. The car is a good candidate for the TV auction houses 'chassis cam'!
The body is excellent and paint has perfect gloss. The roof panel was beginning to fade slightly, and I had it refinished when I disassembled the sunroof and it's mechanism. There is a blemish under the right side of the rear wing on the rail above the quarter window that the painter overlooked and failed to correct. It's minor and covered by the right end of the wing overhang. There is a very small ding in the left rear wheel rim from a previous owner's carelessness; you can barely see it at 9:00 in the photo below. The voltage gauge never worked in 1995, and despite a few efforts, I've yet to solve the issue. The driver's side aero mirror does not work in the side to side direction. I have all the original parts that were upgraded, except for the wheels and flag mirrors...which were lost during ownership transfers.
