Default Ok so we really needed another project the - 1988 944

Like we didn’t have enough going on with Joe and Pat off to college this fall and the track car project on the back burner.

This showed up today.


Thanks, Mike K

She cleaned up nice.



Yes you can put early offset Fuchs on a late car despite what you read on the internets



This one is for the boys to have fun with, more to follow:

If you're going semi track set up, you can check to see what leftovers I have for the interior.

Thanks - The plan for the 44 is a street car for Joe, 19 years old and headed to college in the fall and possibly sharing it with his brother Patrick 21, that part is an ongoing conversation.

The 44 has been sitting for a few years, at least three mabye six. So step one is to bring her back to life and then deferred maintenance, hence the project designation.

So more like a cheap car for a couple of college kids than anything else. Joe likes the idea of doing a few HPDE’s if the car is capable and he certainly can benefit from the driving education

It’s going to take a few weeks of clean up then replace fluids and try wake her up. If that’s successful we will begin the long process of completing some deferred maintenance.

I have another option for a deticated track car, if everything works out.

We were not looking but when the right car turns up...
