Evening all! Thought I'd join up here as I've (finally!) got into some pork. After lusting after a 944 turbo for a long time, one popped up I had to have! It's a kinda rolling restoration as you can see. 1st jobs are mechanical - oil service done, needs the belts and waterpump very soon. MoT next month too! Have already fixed a few little things - heater was on hot (clip under glovebox!) sunroof etc etc.

130K miles and full history. Head done about 8 years / 60K ago, mboost enhancer and induction kit fitted, plus a few other bits - like the twists! Needs a full repaint really - I am a professional detailer so the car will be returned to new slowly as funds allow, once the servicing is all done.

Cheers!

James.

I was told Garnet red, but I'm sure the sticker under the bonnet say granite red?

Most of the panels are far from either colour though!
