If I had to do it all over again
 
ADD TO THIS POST


On my next inexpensive watercooler over 15y/o I will:


Pull the engine when I first get it and replace all seals, belts and gaskets.



-----------I cannot tell you how much time and money this would have saved me------------lesson learned.


How bout you?

Pay more for a car with good paint from the start! I have over 60 hours into cutting and buffing my new paint job. It is turning out show car nice, but man is it swallowing the hours.

Not buy Pirelli P6000 tires, not as performance oriented as I thought at the time. However they are almost worn out the new possiblites are endless:)

Had my son born first so we could enjoy working on the P-cars together.....instead of my two girls hitting them w/ their bikes.........

Make sure sunroof works..
Hmmm he has all the service records... the car runs like a top... how much could it take to fix that sunroof! I'll buy it!

No wait, next time make sure sunroof works,
and make sure it says 944S2 on the back...

Made many mistakes on the first car.....cost my parents lots of $$$$$

Luckily...last November I had the chance to do it all again....and so far I've done it right!!

Get an estimate on the bodywork before I buy the car. What a f*%&King hassle it was skipping that step!

Slap the idiot kid I bought it from.......LOL

Don 944 LA 04-24-2004 10:12 AM

Make sure the 944 will pass Calif smog BEFORE I buy it.

Really had no choice.. needed car and a friend had the 944 cheap.

Next time wait untill I can find a descent one with the price right..

If I had it all to do over again... take the BLUE pill...
