picked up my new 88 944 celebration edition
So, I drove all the way up to upstate NY from eastern PA. about 500 mile round trip to pick up my new 1988 Porsche 944 Celebration edition. It drove the whole way without any issue at all. I knew it would need alot of work to be up to par, but with the rarity of the car i went for it. The interior is crap and needs new carpets, seats (frnt/rear). The dash has cracks. The sunroof needs seals. The passenger side window doesnt work. The paint is starting to peel. I am so excited to have a 944 again, Its been close to ten years since i lost my baby... I am going to do a complete restore on this one (if i can source the rare as **** plaid interior fabric)... She has the following new parts.
New Clutch(951) New shifter bushings and linkage back to trans axle New Valves and seats New Timing and balance shaft belts New K&N Air Filter New Coolant Temp Fan Switch H4 headlight conversion with 130w High 100w low New Goodyear assurance triple tread all season tires CD/MP3 CD radio. New windshield washer bottle and pump(drain cap on bottle/ reservoir has a crack in it and it needs a cap) New light bulbs in all position marker lights and tail lights Has the rear section of the Bursch exhaust set up installed New horn!

Oh man, bummer they let it get so bad. I gather you are going to fix it all up right. That will be cool. I really like that pattern on the seats.
