From Junkyard to show car

Back in August (2013) I purchased a 1987 Porsche 944S from the junkyard for $820.

Upon diagnosis I deemed that it has a blown head gasket. The body is straight and only has 1 tiny ding on the whole car! It will need new brakes and a few misc interior items but overall the car is in great shape for being where it was.

I decided to make this thread to document my journey on restoring this car well enough to be able to enter it in a car show (without being embarrassed).

I will post pictures and prices of most everything I do on the car. This is all being done on my self-supporting college budget and little mechanical knowledge.

I am very excited about this project and can't wait to see the end result!
