Gary...You are such a gentleman as is Tom! I currently have 42 cars in my collection (Mecedes, Jaguars, Bentleys and Rolls Royces). Most were bought from the original owners. Like you, I wanted to be absolutely sure the owner was happy with my purchase! I have 42 "new" friends with these purchases! My first "new" friend was 28 years ago! Sincerely enjoy your restorations and have much respect for you. Take care!

Tom is that breed of man who is of the great generation. The Porsche is in good hands now and I know will be loved and cared back into life. The engine purred beautifully. So looking forward to this restoration. I was at the motor show when this was launched and it took my breath away. Over forty years later it still does! I have a feeling Gary you are going to fall in love with this car and enjoy many a long trip in it. Imaging a drive down to the south of France in it, just what it was made for. Thank you Gary, you are knocking these out of the ball park!

Glad I stumbled across these videos. Very enjoyable watch. My buddy and I are currently doing a restoration on a 1974 914. It's been a fantastic journey with my lifelong friend since grade school. During the process we stumbled across a 1978 928 manual example. The original (we think)owner had passed and we picked it up at estate sale for a very reasonable price. It will be our next project when the 914 nears completion (never fully complete, of course). It is currently all original with Mocha Braun paint Pasha interior, 5 speed, and 80k original miles. The seller just wanted it out of the barn to be able to sell the house and property. It is in incredible shape and everything is there and remarkable. Even a period correct 8 track!!! It's a beautiful car. We have done a minimum to get it starting consistently and look forward to going thru all the systems to make the time capsule she is, top notch. Videos like this gives me inspiration. Taking a super car of its day and using ones DIY methods to bring it back to what Porsche intended. I also love the sanding and the relaxing musical choice during. Because, for me, body work and finding hidden problems is the MOST anxiety inducing aspect. Your choice of something relaxing makes me chuckle. Anyway. Thank you and soldier on. And please post more. It is great watching a fellow enthusiast.

In my life I've owned 35 classic Alfas , 4 Ferrari s , one Lotus , three Porsches , a Jag , VW split window , Lancia Monte Carlo , Mini 1275 and a few other more basic classics . The ' 78 928 manual I've just bought now has captivated me . Pure Beauty and such a clever reliable well made beast . Fast enough and so pure without the later beadings and skirts . Im redoing most of the car and it's an absolute joy . I think these cars in manual are going to be worth a lot more in the not so distant future. If I were to keep this car I'd feel nothing to upgrade a few things like the rear lights to the later ones and it's going to get some tasteful split rims . Other than that it's just so perfect .

Thank you for another superb video, Gary. Isn’t Tom and his wife just delightful. The 928 started without a fuss - typical Porsche motor. I am very fond of Porsche 928’s. I used to drive them a lot in the early nineties and your appreciation for them never leaves you, some cars just fit you perfectly. Personally, the second-best car I have ever used, first place accolade goes to the Porsche 993 Turbo (with X50 power upgrade). Good luck and have fun with it, the more time you spend with it the more it will grow on you. What a car (that should be with a capital ‘C’). Please post more videos of its progress.

A set of 4 wheels for my 911, stripped, primed, powder coated and lacquered, rebalanced £450 and they are perfect, better than new in fact. I think the 928 may just need help in that department.

I will very much enjoy watching you bringing this magnificent German GT cruiser back to its former glory. I cannot believe that old bloke left it that filthy on the outside with so much caked up mud! 😢😡. Perhaps if he’d bothered to clean it before putting it up it wouldn’t have the mild corrosion it has on the arches. Usually corrosion on the 928s are that bad as they are mostly aluminium panels. Despite this they are a very heavy car. But that makes them a stunning motorway car. Waiting with anticipation on this one getting the Gaz treatment 🎉👍🏼

I traded a drawing by Riopel against the car (a 1982) I drove it for one summer then decided to sell for a ridiculous amount (2000$ usd) because I did not have a garage then to store it for the winter. I can't tell you how much I regret selling it afterwards...

Blimey another tear jerker Gary! I just basically watched a man clean a car for 20 mins and loved every second of it! On another note, I used to do alarms and Hifi for a Porsche dealer back in the late 80s and early 90s, I had one of these in for a lot of upgrades over a period of time, same colour too, absolutely loved driving the manual car, so much better than the auto! But the engine caught fire on me when I was moving it one Saturday afternoon. Turned out to be ruptured fuel injectors! We got the fire out quick and Porsche did an impeccable job of sorting it all out, you’d never have known! I’m sure they were all done on a recall, but definitely check them!

Ha ha, yes if left sitting they are a nightmare, but once up and running, driven regularly they are Toyota reliable. Actually better, they last longer. I’m at 217,000 miles in my S4 and it still pulls like a freight train!

What a nice interior! Just repairing my 928 as well, so I came across your video. Excellent. Tip: there’s a positive jump post next to the engine, right hand side, under the little plastic cap next to the little plastic cover. Easier than taking the spare out to get to the battery.

One of the best shows on KZbin hands down! Thanks Gary. Love this quote from Tom "oh no, I would never buy an automatic".

So glad you picked up the 928 Gary, it is an awesome piece of kit. The learning curve on these cars can be a little steep but there is a wealth of knowledge over on the Rennlist 928 technical forum and a really enthusiastic group of owners that do a lot of their own work on their cars so it is worth checking out. Those Design90 wheels likely have the old style tire pressure monitoring system which may be causing them to lose pressure over time. Timing belt service would be a critical item to research. Don’t want 32 valves impacting pistons at high revs. Cheers, John

Great car. I had a manual although I found the gear change difficult to master. At 70mph it would still accelerate hard. Everything used to disappear in the rear view mirror. Electrics are complicated! Felt very stable and solid. Sold it after 10 years. Great project!

watching this great episode I remember my dad handing over his car to us as he had to let go of his drivers license because I was not able to drive safely anymore... thanks again! Great to see you put him at rest because it was you taking over his car.

Tom really is quite a character from the old school of car enthusiasts. I think I noticed a tinge of regret as he took the car for a short drive to the trailer. Still, I think Tom will be quite chuffed to see it have a new lease on life. These "barn finds" make for enthralling viewing.

Great video. Bless the old boy. He does know his cars. Gary was a real gentleman with him too. I've had one of these cars for 30 years now and would find it difficult to part with.

I love this. This is what loving cars is all about. This gentleman is awesome. Clean car, the interior, the tool kit. I hope to be him later in life, the only difference is that it will most likely be an old BMW.(smile) Bravo.🙏🏽✌🏽

For the dent in the front of the car there is a tecnique for unbending moderate to severe dents without loosing the paint It could be a good option to keep the Porsche totally original in it's red paint They use silicon and rods to do magic jobs

I had a 1989 928 S4. Manual transmission, Guards Red with black leather interior. The best car I ever had. I regret selling it. Never had a problem with it. I hope you enjoy yours. Great for touring. I also had a 944 S2. Most fun car I ever had. Better in town than a 944T. No turbo lag in an S2. 211 hp, 211 tq. 3.0L inline four. 5 speed manual. FUN!!!

Fabulous! You dealt with the own with the utmost of respect, his clearly cherished car is indeed a rare and exceptional car with outstanding provenance. My Dad had a 3.2 Carerra in the same Guards Red with Parchment Piped Red. The 928 looks superb with the Design 90 Ronal alloys are superb!

I love how the interior was looked after , the sheets wrapped around the rear seats , mats on top of mats and the fact that the car was garaged out of the elements. That interior has to be the best I’ve seen !! All of the body moulds look great. All this stuff is very hard to find in good condition if you were to restore one. This is an epic find.
