Change Over question
My 1983 944 N/A is very mechanically sound. When I bought it, it had new paint and looked great, inside and out. The only drawback was that it had a salvage title on it which DMV cannot tell me why since they dont know.
Since then, I've invested a small amount of money in it to clean up the mechanical problems I inherited with it and it drives like a dream.
However, over 6.5 years, the new paint job reveals that it was a very inexpensive, quick job and does not look very good at all. I've had a small accident in it that messed up the left front fender and the nose. Ive replaced the nose and will replace the fender this week.
What I am thinking of doing is maybe finding a later model 944 with a nice interioir and body (85/2 or above) with a blown motor or transmission and swap my good mechanicals into the new body.
What am I looking at to pull my engine and put it into a later model body other than to swap the DME?
Or pulling my trans to put into a later model body?
I do really like the newer interior of the 85.5 and up!
Thanks
