1986 Porsche 944 project.
Discussion
After the wife run off, and I'd stopped crying over spilt milk, I thought f'k it always wanted a sports car.
Then thought f'k sports cars are expensive and impractical things.
So thought, what the cheapest, rear wheel drive sports car that can carry 3 people, dog and shopping......... one one I could think of = Porsche 944.
Then thought what is the cheapest 944 I can get.......... I know a non-subtle coloured MOT failure one.
5 months ago, my rusty, multi-faulted, bright orange, ebay find turned up.........
more to follow.

Ohhh blimey, don't get too excited guys.
It's just me trying to get one of the least valued porsches back on the road.
I've found that with porsche dealer prices. Sometimes cheaper (and obviously OME) than ebay copies.
Parts people have been very helpful but showroom and sales obviously think my hi-viz, steel toecaps and truck on their premises, isn't quite the look their PR people want. Lol.
Having got it home, i soon realised, (as is often the case) that maybe I'd paid too much.
Will work out how to post pics tomorrow.

cracking cars, the front engined Porsches have always been the only ones that've interested me
That's was my thinking. , sure the early 911s are cool but as a usable classic I think (and hope lol) the 944 is totally underrated. Of course the turbo is the real race car but with sorted examples now in the mid/late teens, they are too rich for me.
However the N/A cars are much more reasonable. They can have the same sport spec, 50/50 weight distribution, upto 211bhp.
Anyhow, back to reality. ........
