Default Great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I finally officially payed my friend off for his 1983 Porsche 944. I received the title today!! It's a great feeling when you buy a car... I feel... fulfilled. I don't know how to explain, but whatever. I love it and can't wait to start some heavy duty work on it tomorrow!

I just wanted to tell everyone.

I also have a 928 I'm restoring. They sit side by side in the garage. I'll post pics soon!

Thread's useless without pics. :P

It's a great feeling indeed. What's your first project?

well... the PO had the rear bumper torn off when a tow truck towed it? Something like that... But it looks to be an easy fix.

Also the drive shaft or something is broken so it actually doesn't drive. I did a search and found the problem, but the part I need is roughly three-hundred dollars. Then the car is good to go other than cosmetic!

I plan on redoing the interior in black and cork and releathering the early dash. It will surely be a beauty.
