^ Welcome Biggy! What year is your car? Looks like a very clean late-model 944. Keep it clean!!

Thanks for the welcome Elliot.

She's a 1987 base... I bought her with 24K miles on her in 2001, and now I'm right at about 74K problem free miles as a daily driver. These pictures are about the dirtiest she's ever been! Weather has been bad around here lately. This is the inside, it's filthy as well:


The weekend starts tonight, TGIF! So tomorrow she'll get the works, a full detail.

Wow! Amazing you got it with such low mileage.

Couldn't help but notice - tach and voltmeter seem to point to the car being off. So why is the oil pressure needle pegged?

Nice steering wheel too! The black really shows the rear fender lines nicely!

Be safe, have a good evening!

The car is off... last month the oil pressure pegged on high and won't come down. I hooked up a multi-meter to it and ran the car and got variable readings, so I just ordered a new one off eBay. The steering wheel is a Momo Tuner, it just seems to make handling easier.

massive upload of pics from today. helping my friend from work put a bonnet back on his black '88 n/a and pics of my car with his '86 turbo.

can anyone ID the front spoiler on the black '88? the car was imported from the UK with it and its molded.

I think these are the first pictures I've ever taken of this car when I wasn't trying to fix something on it.
