Sk8fe's 1983 Porsche 928
Project 928Sx
About this Current Vehicle:
I've always loved 928's and it has been a long-time dream of mine to own one and turn it into a monster dedicated track car. Let's face it though, there aint nothing cheap about a Porsche and parts for 928's are expensive. So I located a decent high mileage 928 with a pretty clean chassis cheap (no rust, dents and only a few dings -- not bad for a 25 year old car) -- well cheap as far as Porsches go. But I paid 2 or 3 grand more than I wanted to for what I want it for.
I'll never understand why someone would key a car. Sadly this 928 is keyed bad and will need a paint job. All in time, but just takes money away from the go-fast goodies!
Plans are to strip the interior, full rollcage, paint, suspension, brakes and when the tired old 230-some hp 25 year old SOHC V8 pops, swap in a nice 427 or 454 LSx block!

Wires, wires and more wires
Got the center console off and started to clean up the sound deadening material from the passenger's side of the trans tunnel and foot well where to fuse "box" is. Dash is next...

Heat Gun
Before tackling this sound deadening material my gutt said I should use a heat gun, but I sent emails out and asked my friends and two said to use dry ice; which I did. It did do the job, but the dry ice was a lot of work and a lot of pounding the car with a hammer. Dry ice would probably work best in July. But at this time of year a heat gun works soo much better. I borrowed a friend's heat gun and the sound deadening material is coming off like butter and you don't even have to hold the gun on the material that long; then just use a putty knife and it just comes right up. I put a few more pics in the gallery. Just a little more to go...

Dry Ice
I bought some Dry Ice to freeze out the sound deadening materinal in the rear seat buckets and on the passenger's side floor pan. I still got more to do, but it was effective. After I get those areas cleaned up I'll post more pics.
