924/944 are bottom feeders like the 914 was 10 years ago, the only difference is the 914 has made a big comeback in the past 10 years, because it easily accepts a real Porsche 911 engine, 911 suspension and brakes, and is a very simple, mid engined, air cooled car.

That is never going to happen to the 924/944. I'd toss all the junk parts and be done with it.

Probably quite a bit of truth to the above. I really like my waterpumpers as good cheap daily drivers for myself and my teen daughters, but I suffer no illusions of them being "valuable" although I intend to keep them all and I truly love the way my 951 drives. I would NEVER even think about buying "new" high dollar parts for these cars. I have been able to keep them going strong with used parts and some "cheap" wear item new parts like aftermarket mufflers, brake parts, etc.
