My mentioning of how my 944 was a scrappy little guy when I bought it got me thinking...
When I bought the 944, it was scrappy at best. It had a couple of mechanical problems, a bad clutch, a badly bent spoiler, discolored and cracked stone guards, the obligatory cracked dash, ripped seats, a ripped shifter boot, shoddy-looking carpets, and badly-corroded cookie cutters. I got it for a steal, considering the mileage.
After awhile, I was involved in a minor accident, which allowed me to get a better (but not perfect) front spoiler.
I then replaced the clutch and decided to refinish those ugly wheels
AND hand-painted the center caps
VIOLA! All of a sudden I have some nice-looking wheels...
