It’s true. Sometimes project cars really do make progress!

My 928 project is 3 years in and about $30k spent but I’m slowly seeing progress

You are a braver man than me. Great job!

I wouldn’t say braver, maybe less intelligent

I love the colour! I've seen a few with matching coloured Cup wheels, and it's a statement. Is it going to be a full stock restoration?

[-]

funwithdesign@reddit (OP)

Thank you. I’m super happy with how it is turning out.

Yeah the colour matched wheels are the Clubsport versions. I have a set of Cup 1 wheels but I’m going silver I think.

It’s going to be mostly stock.

I have a genuine Turbo S front lip, some KW coilovers and I have rebuilt the engine with forged pistons and rods but it will be pretty much OE+.

That's a good way to do it. Forged parts are so much lighter than OE it makes for a smoother and nicer engine in stock spec. Are the bores still alusil?

Yeah they were pretty much perfect so I didn’t touch the block. It’s a pain finding a shop that can do Alusil bores anyway so best to leave them be I think.

Do'h, I was about to ask who did the work on the block. I have a 951 engine waiting for an eventual rebuild. But it'll definitely need to be honed or sleeved or something.

Yeah sleeping is expensive but I think it’s much easier to find a shop that can put sleeves in these blocks than find a shop with the experience and equipment to hone them.

If they measure good, then definitely. What pistons are they? Wossner had a bunch of problems with alusil compatibility and scoring up bores. The chance of an issue always makes me paranoid.
