Hi,
Woke my 944 from the winter sleep and drove it around the block. Not in the next couple of weeks.

Put racing stripes and numbers on the track car. I bet I added at least 25 horsepower.

Just finished the major service (wp/belts/rollers/etc.) and took her on a nice 25 mile shakedown drive this afternoon.

Hauled my 924 Turbo to the crusher. No one wanted it and I didn't want to restore it. Too bad that another rare car bites the dust.

Took it out for a drive for the first time in 6-7 weeks. It's been snowing practically non-stop in Wisconsin since the end of January, but we seem to be having some warmer (high-30s) weather now and the snow is melting away!

Did quick look over and pictures of stock engine in project Franky before I pull it out for the swap. Pulled plugs and rotated it a number of times making sure it spun freely, no busted timing belt or signs of earlier failure. Still debating if sell it for a good core/running longlock or keep it for son to work on as a replacement for his car (193K but still running strong)

i want that car. Seems kinda extreme. I have the attitude I can fix anything. How bad was it? Turbo 924s are super rare. At least pull the engine out. Grr

Installed a Raid 1 wheel, more „period correct“ than Momo as these were very popular in Germany, also old momos cost 10x what I paid for this one.

The hub is hard to find though (Raid M93)

After knocking off my rear view mirror I decided to refresh the faded black color with a bit of SEM and then reinstall it. The small things add up over time.
