About 30 years ago I bought a Porche 924 at the Salvation Army (Before they switched to auctions) for super cheap because they couldn't get it to start. I had it towed home and it turned out that the fuel pump had failed. The fuel pump was mounted on the outside of the right side of the fuel tank and it had a big dent in it. So I replaced it and it started right up. A few weeks later, a weird hose in the coolent system sprung a leak. It was a short, right-angled hose and it had a large opening in one side and a small opening on the other. I took it into a local Porshe/Volkswagen, hole in the wall parts store to order the part. I showed it to the old guy at the counter and hs said, "Ah, the shepherd's crook" and went in the back room and brought a replacement out. Eventually the fuel sender failed and it started popping out of first gear when I tried to pull away from stops so I donated it to the Red Cross. It was a good car and I wish that I had kept it.
Hey neighbor, well almost… you live in west Tennessee, in Jackson. I’m out in Chattanooga area fairly often though. I just picked up an 84 928S that I am slowly going through getting back to dusky driver status.
I just bought a 1985 928 Aston Silver metallic for 2000. 56,000 miles on it and it also needs a key. You’ve got the 16 valve one. A little less maintenance on your part. Yours is a little cleaner than mine.
I'd be adding some Techron to the fuel tank to help clean out those injectors, along with a few more gallons of good gas to dilute the old stuff that's been sitting for far too long.
Magnificent car we are all very jealous 😅 Be respectful of that beautiful car its a work of art And after its running smooth Stat away from any lakes .... water is very risky for 928s 😅😅😅
Do ya need a 87 euro model? Black and black leather. I parked it 15 years ago in garage and not been moved since. I just not got money to get on road. I may just part it out on eBay for income.
The autos are actually more rare in the early cars.....more 5 speeds were used in the early cars.....the 5 speed didn't become rare until about 86..... Never less, this will be a good project. Just because this car was free, it won't be cheap. I'll guarantee, you will easily have 15-20K in this!..... I'm going through this right now on my 78.
It's me again was just going to give you the obligatory sub for helping out sleeper dude but actually like your content
Thanks! I'm going to have some more stuff like this coming soon!
Dude for real you need more subs because this is good content
I always keep a fire extinguisher close by when messing with old cars.
So awesome you got it running!

Vacuum valve in the fuel distributor probably stuck
Replace ball joints as quickly as possible with steel ones
Does the rarity of manual transmission cause problem finding the spare parts to repair it?
Not really, Honestly there was a higher number of Manuals in the early years like this one.
@@JunkinTreasures I heard that manual in 928 is not very good. They are brittle, synchromesh are often failed. Is it true?
Good luck! I own 3! It’s a disease. You’re $10k in parts away from a great driver
