Default This will end all arguements about how safe these cars are!!!

This is a 88 944 that I'm parting out. As you can see, it took one hard lick on the drivers front. Bent the frame rail really bad, and the whole dirvers side front. But what is really amazing..... the doors still open and close with no problem. The entire front suspension is not hurt!!!! The passanger compartment is still intact. Dr. Boost (Andy) was down a couple of weekends ago, and has seen the car himself,and he was also impressed that as hard as it got hit, the passanger compartment did not have any damage!!!
Sad part.... the car only had 58K miles on it when it was wrecked.
Good part..... the parts are all like new!!! Let me know what you need.

Is that steering rack leaking or good?

I know someone (in the USA) who could go for it.

PM me a price on the engine. Or if you have any short blocks around. Or just blocks (one of my bores is scored). Or a block of cheese.

I bet your neighbors love your driveway. You must slip them 944 parts to keep quiet

My father was in an offset head on impact with a chevy pick-up in 1996 in our 87 924S. Car had 47k miles on it and was pretty beat-up. He did not have a scratch on him.

I can't tell by the pictures, but is the passenger side of the engine bay still there? Im looking for a small bracket that is part of the headlight assebmly. You have to remove the pasenger side fender to get it off but if you could this is the part im looking for.



here is where it is located in the engine bay.


thanks a lot!

-Brett

edit: k for some reason it is not allowing my picturres to be shown...
