This was out because it leaked, and was promptly sealed with a pound or two of epoxy.

Porsche 928 #9289200459

I started working on a new project car, a 1979 Porsche 928.  A whole new adventure in automotive learning for me, certainly after about 20 years of Italian cars.  I’m documenting the project here – http://www.artigue.com/porsche – for your enjoyment.
