Default Life With Porsche 944 Street/Track FULL REBUILD

Hello everyone!
Im new guy here and 944 is my first Porsche.

I bought car this summer by accident and unfortunately it was in bad condition. Totally rusted door sill, a bit rusted floor and more surprises all around.
I know that this car will go for the full rebuild and I will finally build my street/track car.

I plan to post here my progress and question "how to.." or "does this fits?" and maybe more stupid ones

I started to strip car.

How it looks now you can see in my videos on YT. Enjoy!

Nice bruh, when I checked the videos and saw that rocker and floor rot, I thought, no way this guy carries on with this project.

Take it all in stride and keep chipping away and you will get there.

Rear carbon bumper job video, looks good.

Argentina right..?

Thanks a lot!
It's not an Argentina, It's Latvia country!

The plan is to make maximum parts from carbon fiber.
Now still need to wait in line for welding job, but hope it will happen after a month.
Will see.

Engine is out of the car and already disassembled.
Forged Wossner Pistons and Molnar Forged H Rods arrived and engine block is in the shop for washing and glass cleaning!
Stay tuned for more pictures and check the Youtube channel for more

Nice project! That gasket in the cylinder head is quite a nasty surprise. You're doing exactly what I was thinking of doing before getting a very nice S, so I'm curious to see the process and results of your build. Don't give up, and I'm sure you'll be nicely rewarded in the end!

You are a very brave man but good on you for seeking to restore that 944. Many would have run for the hills after seeing those rusty sills!
