Hello all.
Joined up yesterday after finally getting my 944 Mot'd.
Had it about 3 months now and loving it.
Used to have an '89 944 Turbo SE which had been played with and was running 330 ish bhp (see avatar)
My current ride is an early '85 944 lux which is my daily driver and a work in progress!
Also have an '82 944 which is a parts car.
Daz.

My license was in grave danger and the gearbox was on it's way out.
Decided to be sensible for a while and get a Golf!

Hi - welcome to the forum! 3 944's? Blimey..! I'm happy with just the 1..
You could try FranklinHill Porsche - an ebay shop for the sunroof seal, I got mine from there..
By the way I'm not too far from you in Rainy Bloxwich!
Good luck with the seal.... :)

Cheers for the link!
Gonna check the drain tubes and make sure the seals are fitted properly before I buy anything.

Hi Baz.
I bought my 85 from Craig at FranklinHill!
Wish it would stop bloody raining so I can sort out why it's leaking.
Bloxwich eh. Might see you about then.
