Hi all,
I'm Chris and I'm new
I bought an '89 944 S2 a month or so back, and am in the process of enjoying it when the weather allows. This is my first venture into Porsche ownership. I've wanted a 924 / 944 for a LONG time now, and felt I'd skipped over it with newer / more expensive cars, so felt now was the time to finally take the plunge.
It's a little rough around the edges, but presentable, in Baltic Blue with Stone leather seats and, some shade of dark blue dash / wheel etc ([b]let me know if you know the name of the 89 Porsche dark blue leather steering wheel colour as I want to get a restoration kit / re-dyeing done!).
It's managed a total of 151k miles so far - around 800 of them with me, and hopefully will keep going for a few more
I plan to continue to enjoy it, and potentially continue to improve it's condition, though I have other projects that will come first.
For now, improving its condition has been restricted to interior cleaning, and replacing broken bits (pedal rubber, and a nylon nut bodge on the headlight adjuster screw until the proper parts arrive!)
Steering wheel condition is next - it's gone from sticky and dirty to degreased, but looking like suede so far!
Next will be possibly fixing more broken stuff:
The only bits that don't quite seem to work properly are:
Heated rear window.
Boot lid not popping up on the button.
Slight sunroof leak (though it's garaged anyway!).
Intermittent drivers headlight issue.
Under bonnet light.
Eventually, I have 2 rusty doors to sort, and some other small bubbling around what I assume are the usual spots, below the boot lid and side window seals.
Oh, and using it some more!
So, yeah, Hi everyone!
Chris
