well i thought i had better break the old girl out from the other half garage for a bit of summer loving, she didn't let me down when it came to the mot station by passing with only a couple of minor advisories ,,
so i hit up a few shows and 400 odd miles in the first 7 days of being out, damn i missed the sound of carbs
a few pics I've poached
really wish i'd made it to PVS now thou

Unfortunately my track car partner has zero mechanical sympathy and we need s new clutch.
I'll look into bedford on the 21st just in case.
Is it open pit-lane?

Hi,
Not been around Mk1's for a long time and at the foot of the mountain for my own build... this is top notch...
Love what you have done with this....
Great work... hope it is everything you wished for... and more.

It didn't happen over night much like everyone's builds but yes I'm pleased with her, I will be making a few changes through the winter I expect just improving on Areas I could have done better
Good luck with yours

Be interesting to know where you think you went wrong....
I think the thing I like about this car so much is that is it individual which is how cars with this much love should be....
I personally think the combo of brown and red works very well and had an uncle who have an old 928, pretty sure it was that colour as well...
Looks truely unique...

Mine under-steers like a barge at the moment too so could do with playing with the front suspension, obviously a good stab fixes it but it would be quicker to fix the under-steer

We'll unfortunately I missed billing again due to it clashing with something else,, couldn't miss eminem and dre at wembley I'm afraid ..
I've purchased some new rolling stock for the old girl so the gottis will be on eBay in the very near future in case anyone fancies them
Also been considering dropping in a c20let, yes I know it's nothing ground breaking but I fancy some boost
