Bone Yard 944

[Thunder-71]

Found a 1983 944 N/A in a local bone yard. Already picked the fuse box with all relays on it, the AFM, the DME, complete cluster etc. Are they any other relays I should get? If so where are they located if not on the fuse box? Engine and Tranny are still there and complete. Are there engine componets I should take like ( fuel rail with injectors, alternator, starter, A/C Compressor etc) or anything else? Suspension looks intact too.

Where do you live? Id be intrested in the manual rack and steering shaft.

Not sure of shape of rack and steering shaft. Car was hit on front. Will check it towards the end of the week and let you know. I am located in the Buffalo area, New York.

The original sunroof in a 83 is lighter than any other year. Used for racing / tracking a 944.

Is the roof opening same on all years so all I need is to unbolt everything bolted to it or need to cut perimeter of roof? My car has no sunroof so I am not familiar with them.

Just unbolts like the rest of the years (little 6 or 7 or 8mm bolts), the difference is the weight in the structure of the lid, not as many supports built in. 1983 944’s did have manual sunroofs as I recall. Sort of sought after by anyone that had tackled the sunroof cables and lost! So keep all the little parts together.

Hi Eric, Sorry it took me so long. The car is in the Indian Reservation on Chew Road, off of Route 31 past Lewiston. I believe the yard's name is Able. Good luck.
