CyCloNe!’s 944 S Build Thread
Well as many know I picked up a 944S for basically nothing. It shows 9,5XX miles on the title history and just under 10k on the Odometer. I am sure this isn’t actual so don’t worry I’m not that stupid...usually. This car runs well but needs a full work up mechanically and cosmetically. Below are some pics from the pick up day to today and a list of upcoming work. Current Project is a cut and buff of the old paint still in progress.

Bought a buffer but thing was junk so this is all by hand at the moment. Looks a lot better than the starting point and really need to wash it and hit a few more spots. This was done with a terry cloth and 105 Heavy Cut Compound. Going to borrow my friends buffer for round 2 with the 205 Polish next. Also gona try the wax wheel on the double sided molding tape. |
I think the answer is directly linked to how thick your wallet padding is... ;)

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...aec39cb21.jpeg Removed the upper back seat. I have a rear seat delete I made that will replace the bottom, just need to carpet it. Also took out spare tire and jack... everything adds up over time lol. |

Tip of the S exhaust was breaking, got a regular NA one going on for now. Looks like only main difference is the resonator on the S catback. |

I don’t know what was up with mine but it was looking like it might fall apart any minute. I know my top cam housing bolt isn’t in, it’s missing so getting a replacement tomorrow. I worry the back housing maybe stripped... O the joys of PO’s! |

I’ll go back and loom it later. Also found out the car appears to have rear turbo phonies on all 4 corners. I have two questions though. 1) what temp does the low speed fan come on? Both mine cut on at 3/4 on the temp gauge (pic in next post) 2) what part is missing here in the pic? Near the driver fender. |

That paint is what autobody experts refer to as DEAD.

Lol, yes it is. Even before I cut and buffed it I knew I just need to respray it i was hoping it would be a smidge more presentable but that was all. The next question would be keep it at Guards Red or trying something else? I really liked my Rein Orange a lot but always like a clean bright white as well or maybe go Signal Green.

I think what you are missing in that holder is the ABS connector.
I just painted my cab Carmine Red, wanted to stay in the Porsche family colors. If I strayed I would have painted it Sakhir Orange, like my ex e36 cab. With the curves on the 944 and the light changing properties of the paint, i think it would have turned out great |
Not a Porsche color but...
I vote for Interlagos Blue. I love love love that color.
That new Audi green is also all kinds of amazing. |

Got this bad boy in today... wasn’t going to get one yet but it was the cheapest I have seen listed in a long time and no broken mounting locations for fenders or batwing. |
