Default I BOUGHT ONE! =D

Hey gang,

I settled on car #2 (the black one).

'88 944, good runner (some hesitation @ WOT), fair interior (I have some interior parts to swap), good body, good paint (respray), some recent receipts ($5900 in total in the last 8 months), new tires.

$2400.

Picking up the car next week as I'll be out of town this weekend, but I couldn't contain my excitement! First thing I'm doing after I pick it up is taking it to my mechanic to have everything looked over. Wish I could have done it BEFORE buying it, but that's ok. It seems solid overall.

Will post pics next weekend! See you at the GTG's soon!

Good choice (realtively)! Lower miles = better, IMHO! Good luck with the car!

Once again I agree with Andy.

I still have the rolling chassis + full interior. I was talking with a potential buyer for the carcass, but I may end up using much of the interior in this black car I bought (the S interior is in very good shape).

So I won't part it out until I see exactly what I am gonna use from it. Then I'll sell the rest.

I might use the dash, Momo wheel, some buttons, I don't know quite yet. We'll see. I can't wait to get started on her!
