Hi there, this is my first time on this forum so I thought I would register and say hi. I am a 54 year old spanner-turning 944 enthusiast who presently runs an '88 944S. I am no stranger to 924's and 944's having had a few in the past. The current one has undergone a complete renovation/rebuild (and yes I do have photos!).

I have been pretty active on the American Pelican Parts forum which I have used as a great source of knowledge during the work, but I would now like to look more closely at (and get involved in) the home-grown 944 scene, so hopefully I will have something to contribute and you guys will have useful stuff that I need too! :D

Just setting up the account, etc., but here are a couple of before and after shots (you can work out which is which).

If you guys are interested I will post up a few of the phases of work and other aspects of the car..

Regards, Rhett.

Hi Rhett

Welcome to the forum, lots of 944 spanners on here so you will be in good company. :)

We like looking at pictures showing progress, judging my those two pictures you have been busy :wink:

Great job. Hate to see a nice car in that state when it could be brought back to life. Well done.
