Many many years ago when I was in my early 20's I was very fortunate to be in the position to buy a 1982 928s and then a 1984 928s. These were my 2 absolute favorite real cars. Fantastic engineering and styling that to my eyes still looks modern.

Hey Rob, any chance you could share a link in one of your vids where you get the screws from? I don't seem to get the right combination of screw/drill bit... Thanks pal
My dad's paint selection method comes through again! That looks great. Back in high school, I used to tag along sometimes when a slightly older guy I knew went car shopping. (We'll call him John, on account of that was his name.) He had... let's call it _aspirational_ taste in cars and no money to speak of, so car shopping with him was always an adventure; and he had to do it a lot, because most of the cars he bought were terminally ill when he found them. Seriously, he was like a hospice nurse for dying sports cars. Anyway, one day we ran across an old 928 that someone had clearly appreciated very much for a long time. It was too beat for even John to pay money for it, alas, but even so, it was a thrill just to see one in person. This was in northern Maine in the late '80s, so that was the kind of car you only saw on TV. How it came to be there, no man can say.

Ferry Porsche’s favorite color was Amazon green, and the color you mixed is close. Good job. The 928 is my favorite Porsche. I have a 1/80 scale diecast version from PlayArt and a 1/24 scale plastic Revell kit. The first 928 I ever saw was when I worked at my uncle’s Porsche dealership. It was Porsche cocoa brown with the Pasha upholstery which is a trippy checker pattern. Definitely Porsche from the 70s. Glad you mentioned your light box and your paint jobs. It always looked like orange peel, but this explains it.

My first thought was "Oh god, that colour sounds awful" but actually, it's a mushy pea green and goes brilliantly with both the interior and glazing. Lovely effort. I have the original gold/tan plus two of the blue. I started off with the blue when bought new in the 80s and tried persuading a pal of mine to swap me his tan/gold, but he wanted it back. Took me decades to track one down. I would have wanted to find an original set of Superfast wheels for this and apply that original tan/gold paint. I would be tempted to do a Porsche 911 in that tan gold in fact.
