Hi: Can do it for you, but that vin # wont fly - you took it from inside the engine compartment. Get it from the windshield or the door post. Should read WP0AA092?BS80995. Just need the question mark character. While I have your attention, I know you have a 928 & perhaps can answer a question - can acquire a 1981 928 that runs but smokes (blue smoke) & runs rough. I fear oil blowing by rings and the attendant low cylinder compression. Is there any other possibility or am I looking at major fix-it $$$? Dick Price.

Dick,
is it possible that the smoke is black and not blue, it could be running way to rich,
however do a compression test and a leakage test to confirm
however you can get a decent used 928 engine for a decent price from 928 INTl

awesome! dont see any problems with that. it seems to have had the battery box re-done, doesnt look like any welding, but just a new layer of paint and some heavy duty battery work was done. which because of that, it doesnt have the sticker that shows what options it has.

thanks again!
