Post subject: | Newbie from Northampton with a 944 |
Hi, I'm Andy. I've been reading these pages for about a month now looking for info and advice on 944's, so thought it about time to introduce myself. (Once I'd got past the near impossible "guess the unreadable code" registration game!) I bought my first Porsche, a 1985 944 at the start of October, as a project car, having found it on eBay. "Pea" currently has no MOT, and needs a bit of TLC to get it back on the road after 3 years since the last tax disc expired. Here's a couple of pics from the original ad: ![]() ![]() And when it arrived at it's new home: ![]() ![]() The plan is to have it back on the road for the (hopefully) nice weather and my birthday, in late March. Thanks for looking, Andy |

Hi Andy and welcome ![]() Fortunately you're right in the middle of south central region territory who currently meet once a month in Evenley (more detail on the regions page). They're a friendly bunch with a wealth of knowledge and contacts that you might benefit from. If nothing else, it's worth popping down for the bacon rolls alone ![]() Pete |

Andy hi as Pete says come along to next meeting. Few experts amongst the group who will point you in the right direction. Normaly good banter and coffee in pub is superb! |

Hi Andy and welcome. I've got my 944 (same colour as yours) up on stands undergoing restoration of the underneath bits (front suspension, steering and brakes at the moment). If there's anything I can help with give me a shout. |
