Creating a Great V8-Porsche, Pt. 2
I bought this 1985 Porsche 928S in Spain. As I've explained in the first episode of this series, she had been taken from the road in the mid nineties when her owner was involved in law suits following a construction scandal. Twenty years had passed when she returned to the limelight. She's a solid car with no rust, but time took its toll and many systems and especially her fragile electrics need restoration. I'm giving it to her and in a couple of films she'll be a great V8-Porsche ready for a second life.

It sits directly above the catalytic converter and gets dried out. It's also an infused wire, and can start an electrical fire if it shorts out. Ask me how I know.😢

    I believe that the car painters that performed your mirror work went to the same school that the car painters/repairers that performed the wiring work on my Alfa 156 V6 - which had in the past, under a previous owner, had suffered a wiring fire at the rear. In short, atrocious work in 'splicing in' a replacement portion of the wiring loom that consisted of about 20 wires - that in the end unleashed a host of gremlins that required addtional 'jumper wires' (of course all coloured black) to be 'spliced in' at different points of the wring harness. However, they were at least able to perform the circa 20+ twisted cable connections - i.e. no crimping or soldering 'here' - using the same colours - so I can conclude that the painters/repairers were at the very least not colour blind. Like you, I hope they turn up the heat to maximum when they finally make it to their final resting place in hell.

In my case, all is forgiven when I hear the delightful and sonorous Busso V6 engine in full flight.

    at 9:07 what is the name of the black pipe you are connecting, and if its wet with oil where is it mostly likely leaking from What a great video. Thanks

      Thanks, Wayne. That’s the oil line between oil tank and engine and if it leaks, it’s the joint at either end.

    Tolles Video, 👍 bei meinem G-Modell hat die Türkante eine Delle von bis 3mm auf einer Länge von ca. 40mm. Wagen ist mal mit leicht offener Türe zurückgerollt.🫣…nur leicht, aber Zack, da war war es passiert. Ich möchte jetzt nicht die ganze Türe lackieren sondern nur die Schadstelle . Wie würdest Du zunächst den sauberen Kantenverlauf wieder herstellen…Flüssigmetall, Zinn? Grüße Andreas

      Servus Andreas. Ich würde Teroson Zinnersatz verwenden, eine Art 2K-Flüssigmetall.

    My word these 928's are complex things. I don't think i'll be swapping my 944 for one soon. But although they are perhaps a little over-engineered, you can't help but love them and I am so glad you have taken this on. Cannot wait for part 3. I started restoring my 944 during lockdown and finally got an MOT on April the 19th. If I bought a 928 to restore tomorrow, I would probably finish on April the 19th 2032 - seen as they are doubly complex (if I wasn't made bankrupt beforehand). Keep up the good work and i'll keep learning too!

      @@GreasyFingers There is a red one in America! I am a bit of a puritan (not in the Presbyterian sense :) ) and I have endeavoured to keep mine original at every stage when possible - as long as the PET doesn't throw up 'NLA' and you can't find a replacement on Fleabay, or at the breakers. It's a lot easier and cheaper to modify. Too many classics are modified - even at a higher level like the Gunther works 993, the Singer 911's etc. Why? Travesties. So I enjoy your restorations because you are getting the cars back to what they must have been like when they left the factory. I've had an inkling of that now that 95% of the mechanical work is done with it's new bushing all round and the L Jetronic delivering, the tall but slick gear change. It's driving like it's meant to. Delete the problematic MAF, replace the torsion bars with coil overs, replace with gas struts, stick a short shift linkage in, over cam the engine, re-map the ECU, make it go faster... and in that process, you loose the soul within that was inexplicably Porsche; the thing you couldn't put your finger on because Porsche's are greater than the sum of all their parts and the only cars I have ever owned that are positively inexplicable. That complexity is what makes them and gives us headaches as you try to reverse the accumulated neglect and abuse. I wish you luck on this 928 journey.

    This is like watching 18 years of 928 ownership and typical repairs flash before my eyes. Especially pod removal and resistor buried at the back of the engine. Great videos so I’m looking forward to see what you tackle next. Thanks
