What kind of shape is the 26/8 in?

As for Ben, I have not had him in the car since the pic. was taken. I would imagine he would be all about ripping the turn signal stock off or the cruise lever. Send me some pics of the new cab.



Good luck with this car, looks like a great parts car with sport seats to boot.

Cleaned out the "wound" some last night. Removed the fender and all the broken plastic and pounded out the sheet metal. Definelty damage to the frame rail. The radiator was shoved towards the motor and I think the power steering pulley cut through one of the oil cooler lines.

Agreed, if the damage on the frame rail is ahead of the strut towers you're golden. Might replace that control arm though being its the aluminum type. It will never be an "A+" car again, but it looks like it could be made to be a good 10 footer! ? Seems too nice to part.

damage to the front isnt that super bad- but noting the shape of the car- its a parts car.

I am the first person to pull the save card on 944's but I spent today helping Josh pull this car apart and it was not worth saving. The damage is much more evident in person then the pictures show.

Well - got the drivetrain out today with Colin and Brad's help. Made pretty good time - getting the exhaust off was tougher than expected! Before we took it apart we drove around the block. Everything seemed to work well - motor was boosting nicely. Compression numbers were 140-145 across all 4.

Is the airbox in good shape? I'm in the market as mine's cracked at the hold down bolts.
