Thought I'd do a thread on my 1985 944 auto which was given to me by a friend around Christmas.
The reason he gave it to me was the flex plate is shot and these things cost around £1000 and with labour to fit he didn't want to spend that kind of money on it.
He'd left it sitting in a compound in south London for a year and had to get it moved because the lease on the land was up.
So lucky me got a project for the spring
When he left it there a year back it was in fairly good condition but by the time I'd got there both wings were dented the badge panel was dented, the NS rear arche dented, front spoiler broke, a mouse was nesting in it, no battery, radio stolen, no radiator cap and the fuel hose to the tank was gashed so it pissed petrol all over me when I tried filling the tank.
But the sills and floor are rust free, its only done 93000 miles with full service history just with gaps for times when it was laid up for long periods.
My mate had spent £600 on a service only 3000 miles ago.
So well worth saving.
so it had some light rust on the inside which I soon cleaned up and hammerited.
