Hello,
I have recently purchased a 1987 944 Celebration Edition that requires lots of work doing to it, the list of jobs so far is longer than my arm so should keep me out of the house..

I have been on the forum for about a month and Joined a couple of weeks ago (no welcome pack or number yet) but I thought it was about time I said hello and posted a pic.

The forum is great with loads of useful info, thanks everyone
Glenn.

Hi Glenn! Nice motor

...'87 Zermatt Silver just like mine!

What's a Celebration Edition all about? I'm a newbie too

Cheers Chris, I like the interior as well, the front seats in mine are both ripped and the top of the back seats as well. I will sort all the other things out first and then sort the seats. The material is about £100 a meter and would have to do all the seats because of the old and new look, not going to be cheap, i could get another full set of seats of ebay for about £200 but they wouldn't be the celebration ones ....

I'm all in favour of "if you're going to do something, do it properly" logic, but that's not cheap cloth! Still, I bet it's going to look lovely

I was very keen on splashing out on a Silver Rose but just couldn't justify doubling the cost or more. Maybe one day... A Celebration Edition looks just as cool with the grey version of that mad tartan design

Did you get the Celebration by chance or where you hunting for one specifically?

I got some Pascha material for my seats from Germany.Much cheaper.Look at 'Read me first' at the beginning of 924/944/968 section on here then look at classic car solutions or werk 924.I think your material is 89 euros a metre and its 1.4 metres wide.
