New 944 owner
Hello all! Two weeks ago I bought my first Porsche, a base 1989 944. I looked for about 6 months before I found it. Drove it home from about 50 miles away, with a friend following. Friend said the brake lights cut out about halfway home. So far I found 4 blown fuses and a huge mouse nest in the passenger door. Got most of the electrical things straight and a brake light switch on order ( already cleaned the ground). Car has 90k on it and still has original paint and most of the clear coat is intact. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I go about fixing this car up.

Yeah the color is what hooked me. 90% I looked at were red, a few black, a few white, this was the only 944 I saw this color. The one year only 2.7 doesn't bother me, as far as I can tell, parts are the same price as a 2.5 and readily available.

I think the 2.7 is a bonus quite honestly and the head is coveted by every 3.0 turbo conversion guy!

The above mentioned mouse nest. When I pulled the panel, the door was half full of nest, seeds and mouse feces. The little bastards chewed through the wires for the lighted door lock *****.

Similar situation
Hi 72Harley-
I had a nearly identical situation right after I took possession of my car, but instead it was under the shift boot. All of the sound/thermo dampening was turned into a luxurious mouse hostel. I probably lost 3 lbs by vacuuming it out.
