    1985 Porsche 928S all original paint barn find

    This came to us after being in a barn for 10 years. Corrected with M101 on red Meguiars cutting disc, second step with Rupes Keramik on yellow Rupes pad. Finished with Esoteric signature wax. Defects still remain,but .5 mills removed so that was enough.i think we made it presentable though.
    thanks for looking!

    Beautiful work, on a beautiful classic !!!!!

    Show the guy on ag who wants to coat the 63 vette w/original paint
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Clear coat paint, client wanted it the best it could be, lots of bird stains and rodent dropping stains. Old Porsche paint was almost Asgard as corvette paint.
    thanks guys!

    That car had the best lines from the rear in my humble opinion.

    I wish they never stopped making it.

    Its too bad these are so hard to maintain and get parts for because they are amazing.

    The car club im in has one with a big block chevy engine. Total resto Mod and that is the way to go.

    Mike lambert- Thanks for sharing that, big improvement, huh?!?

    I *love* that color! Those cars look great in "not just Guard`s Red" colors, and that`s a neat one.

    I was downright *addicted* to 928s for a long time, had four of `em Oh man does seeing that take me back!

    Heh heh, ten years of storage, huh? The mechanicals are gonna cost a bundle, even if it seems "perfectly OK". They cost a lot to maintain even when they were virtually new!
