So I'm in the process of buying a 79 928. It's got some minor problems, Speedometer and Odometer don't work and the power windows burn through fuses in a matter of hours. Are these common problems with the early 928s?
If so are there quick fixes for them?

The speed could be a bad cable, cheap to replace, just takes time.

If the power windows are going thru fuses like that, you have a wire touching ground. Take off your door panels and again follow the wires to see if a wire has been rubbing up against the door and is making contact with the door metal.
