My 944 Hybrid Project
I picked up a side Project, a 87 944.
The car has some dings, nicks and scratches. The engine is running, but has a few oil leaks, and the water pump is leaking water.  Already hammered out a dent behind the rear wheel.  The interior is worn beyond cleaning and TLC.  Need to find some front seats. The carpet has seen better days. I decided to start on the inside first.  So I just went ahead and got rid of the carpet. Cleaned out the interior.  I had a set of black carpet floating around, which I used.  What a difference it makes.  The rear seats look good after I gave them a good scrubbing.  While I had the rear side panels out, I checked the speakers and found them dead.  I replaced the old Blaupunkt speakers with a set of Polk Audio I still had.  To be continued. Cheers Engelbert

Started a bit disassembly
 Back on the lift.  Exhaust partial removed, Drive shafts removed. Next: The transmission.  Transmission is out.  That engine was leaking oil for a long time.   Engine is coming out.  Dropping it from the bottom.  There it is out.  There was a lot of oil from leaks combined with dirt.  ECU harness is out, that will be modified for the Hybrid conversion  This car was a mess, especially at the right side.  Getting it all cleaned up.  To be continued. Cheers Engelbert

can the original engine be modified to run with addition of a battery?...or does the entire engine/tranny/battery need to be used from an existing hybrid?
