I am sure the 944 is a kind of evil disease......I have owned my beloved zermatt silver 84 944 for a couple of years now sorting out most of her troubles but then...suddenly there aren't things to repair anymore,no searching for tips on forums and no searching for parts worldwide .So what did I do,I bought another one! Engine overheated,interior in bad shape and the list goes on!
World,welcome my new project!

 

Well you can always slowly make it a project car??

 

Hey whatever floats your boat right? Some people enjoy whips and chains, and others enjoy the pain and suffering of working on old sports cars! Enjoy!

 

Congrats and good luck with the new project, I'm sure it will be much easier the second time around.

Enjoy!

 

I know the feeling, except whenever I take my car to look at another one something breaks within the week, I think it's trying to tell me something

Good luck! The paint looks nice and shiny

 

there's something about Guards Red. more pics wanted....

and maybe include a few of J-Bay going off if it isn't too much trouble. good luck.

 

I don't know what I'd do with my time if my car wasn't a project ALL THE TIME...

 

I'm doing all the bumper to bumper stuff on my '87, too. Now I'm getting ready to pull the tranny and flywheel since I've confirmed the oil leak at the rear main crank seal. I figured that when other rubber engine seals were hard that all of them are, so I'm on a mission to replace them all. I got a flourescent dye kit and am now verifying the source of all leaks. It works and so now I'm looking at: balance shaft seals, cam front and rear and tower seals, rear main seal, transmission case and output shaft seals. It did feel good to see that the oil pan gasket and front main seal that I had just installed are both tight and dry. Also replaced the steering rack boots, lower ball joint boots and new tie rod w/boots.

 

looks like a nice project! what are your plans for the car? any more pics?

 

Thanks guys!
Got the car and......it's a lemon .Been painted 50 coats of paint...with a brush,or so it looks like.It even got RUST,yep that's correct ,rust on a 944 .I'll try to breathe some air into the lifeless engine and see from there what the future may hold for her!

 

Two words....

Track car

 

When life gives you LeMans...
