I picked up this 1985 944 about a year ago after being 944-less for the past 12 years, if you don't count the 944 that we raced in 24 Hours of Lemons 5-6 years ago.
This is my 3rd or 4th 944 and my family has had about 12 of them. I decided I needed another old car to toy around with since I sold my 928 and our 996 doesn't fill the void. I was looking for an early car because I am weird and I like the old dash. This car fit the bill and is in fairly decent shape, so I pounced on it.
In the past couple months, I have done the following:
-installed a only944.com firewall brace
-new master and slave cylinders
-lowered the rear end via the eccentric bolt
-installed 7mm spacers on the rear wheels
-new hood struts from *********************.com
-put on my 2.5 sticker from drivingwhileawesome.com

2.5 sticker!

hood stays up now

sitting nice and level

firewall brace is somewhere back there

7mm spacers bring the wheels out a little bit
