Default ...And, she's home. My track beastie adventure begins >>

Guess what?! It's white!

Picked up a 1989 Porsche 944 S2 for track duty. Hard to believe the condition of this car when I picked it up today. I could not believe the condition of this car overall. Would you believe 147,000 miles on her? Exterior looks fantastic and the interior is about the same. and, the PO gave me a 4" thick ring binder with all the records from the start.

Track prep coming...fast, stay tuned.

Photos upon the arrival home:

That is a really clean S2...almost a shame to strip and track....almost!

Is the interior blue? Hard to tell if it's blue or black?

I even see the 10-speaker option! Sweet ! Is it MO30 as well ?

Man is that nice. I love white Porsches, I am on my third. If you strip out that interior be sure to let us know, I think I have seen several posts for blue bits and I may need some as well, although only a few things would work in the cab.

Well...pretty much every interior component (save the dash) will be available. Even the Kenwood with SAT radio. Everything. I will be gutting the car.

No M030, but it does have the limited slip and it appears to have larger brakes. Too pooped to check at the moment. More details as they become available.

Its like its meant to be....finally someone selling blue interior!! and its so beautiful too... interested in the seats, but im afraid they might get pricey.....quite the beautiful car....drool.

I see the shifter boot has already been stripped. You're almost there.
