where's a porsche fanatic when you need one?
OK, this maybe a weird one, but I am about to try and buy a 944 project car. This will be my first porsche, but I have been around them all my life (due to Pelican brother back home in the UK). I am desperate to have some fun doing one of these babies up (as well as driving it of course

go join the dorkiphus.com BBS. It's a DC-area porsche forum. Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks, including some who are very serious about their 944s.

Man, you have to really hate money to buy a 944 project car.

Maybe - but love the exchange rate, so better to try it here than back home, believe me.

local PCA if dorkiphus doesn't pan out, but I've heard of it before, it probably will.

Skip the 944 and go for something air cooled and older, like a 912. At least they're going up in value...
Of course, I've also thought that a "fun" $50k investment would be a few acres in Arizona, a big barn, and 5 or 6 944s and a buttload of what will be NOS parts in 25 years.
