I would never mess with any of the 4 speed cars frankly. Bare minimum a 924 NA needs to be an 81 or 82 in my book, turbos too but an 80 turbo is still OK but the gearbox is not my cup of tea.

Maybe it was an evolving process, but I'm pretty certain it started with the 77MY cars acrossed the line. I've seen 1978 911SC's that were galvanized that still had tons of bad rust issues. They must have perfected the process as time went on.

would it be worth my while picking up this old crock, stripping it out and trying to convert it into a 944? are there any major differences besides the drive train, running gear, quarter panels, and front wings? is it possible to put a late model 944 interior into a 924? could i get much money back on the old 924 parts?
cheers for any input,
