Granite 944, I'm not sure your post was tounge-in-cheek or serious. Sure, to keep the car as original as possible it's time to get the welder out.

But my 944 is a race car, and will probably meet it's end someday when I do something stupid, and wander back to the pits with nothing more than the steering wheel in my hand, the rest of the car nothing more than scrap steel being dragged off the track so the next run group can go.

Most of us are on a budget. For a twenty-something year old car, I see nothing wrong with a quick J-B Weld patch job to keep acidic water from dripping inside the car.

I doubt that 944s will ever gain the value and respect that makes it worth spending the enormous amount neccessary to restore the car to concours standards.

A pristine example is worth keeping that way. For most of the "drivers", I'm all for a quick patch, and enjoying the car.
