The engine bay is not Matching Blue. Its actually more black or dark green ish not blue, but that makes sense now. The car is back at my place now, it will be going into storage for the the summer. Now beguines my first Porsche complete rebuild. Should be fun. I will be sticking with this blue as I rebuild this 944.

Honestly really fallen in love with the 944. There is a 87 Base 944 for sale close to me thinking about picking it up as a daily driver for winter an summer.

Yup, there's the Nile Green. One of the rarest codes ever shot at the factory.

Have not played around with the engine at all as of yet. this car is going to be a long term project which will probably get into swing come the fall.

Nile Green from what I understand is a fairly uncommon special order color available on the 944 in the later 80's
