Winter Projects- 2010

I will be listing all Winter project here!

Once I get the Shark back home, I plan to mainly finish the interior up. I need to make sure all Electric Components and Lighting works, before I lay any of the carpet down. Once Electrics have been taken care of, carpet can be layed.

When Spring comes around, my PLAN is to paint the car a Venetian Metallic Blue, and possibly later on in the year, get some 993 Silver White rims.

928 Ignition Module

Sent the 928 in about a month and a half a go give or take to the mechanic shop. They finally got to working on the car and stated the Ignition Module is not functioning. I bought a used one for $20 off of a Rennlist board member, so when it arrived I will have them throw it in, and see where that get's me!

Other parts I may need to solve the issue, and get the Shark running again, include a Distributor Green Wire, and a Battery Ground Strap.

Large Update

A lot of progress has come along with the 928 S!

Pictures, and new information will be posted soon!

Ignition Lock Repair

I am attempting to repair my Ignition Lock. The steps for the procedure are included in this video, provided by a fellow Rennlist Board Member.

After I get this fixed, I shall hope and pray it does the trick to getting the 928 roaring again!

Paint Removal

Yes. The chipped paint you see is all going to be removed.

Trunk Project Update II

 

  

Lots and lots of work yet to do, and a lot of deciding. Basically the Trunk Spare Tire Well is being transformed into a tool compartment (picture 1), as well as the open back space (picture 2) 

(I apolagize for blurry images. My current camera is not focusing very well)

Trunk Project!

Update

Carpet Ordered

I am but a few minutes away from ordering the Carpet Set.

In other news, today I removed the foam that was underneath the Right Rear Quarter Panel. It was falling apart, and molding, so it just had to go. I am going to see about getting a new piece made up. I expect the piece from the Left to be in the same condition.

Once I can get new foam pieces, I will place them in the car. However it will still be awhile before I actually get some new Rear Quarter Panels ordered. In the meantime, I'm going to mess with the current Quarter panels, and see if I can smack them around into some good condition, and maybe I won't worry about ordering some new ones.

Interior Close to Finish.

Today I finally got the second Rear Seat removed. I also removed the Rear Console for re-spray, and cleaned up the padding. I also may have got ahead of myself, but I took the liberty of removing the Right Rear Quarter Panel. The beast was actually fairly easy to remove. Too bad it is real warped and torn. I might go ahead and get a new set of Rear Quarter Panels, since they are in such bad shape.

New set will cost apprx. $250 for Vinyl- which should do the trick. Before I go into doing this, though, I am going to get the carpet ordered and install it. The new carpet will come at around $500.

Future plans, after the carpet and quarter panels, and all four seats have been replaced, is to take off the door panels and give them a re-spray. Afterwards, the trunk is up, and I already have special plans for it!

Interior Work

Interior Mega Update

Recently I had stripped out the interior, and was heading on re-doing it all. I am getting there, but very gradually. I just got some sound-proofing mats in, which will cover the drivers side floor. Not much, but it's better than nothing, and at a whopping $60.

I resprayed the steering wheel and horn pad, and fixed the Gauge Cluster. I got some new Rear Seats and paddings ordered from a guy from the 928 forums. I will also be ordering a new Carpet Set soon. I still have lots of interior parts to re-spray. Everything fro mthe Door cards, to the Dash, and Pod.

After the new seats are placed in, the carpet placed in, and everything else sprayed over, the interior should be in extremely excellent condition! That will thus, conclude any major charges to my cars for awhile, unless they break down and it becomes a large bill of needed parts, of course.

In time, I will add more and more sound proof padding. Under the rear seats, the roof, the passengers side, under the door cards, and the battery area as well. At this time I will more than likely go ahead and get the Underhood heat Shield as well.

Tons of pictures to come!

New Ignition Switch

Ignition switch was worn out, so I went ahead and replaced it. Still have a bit to finish up, but hopefully this wil lget my Shark back on the road!
