My 944 restoration picture thread

[Hallsy]

Great work, will be as new once finished!!

I am having to resist getting carried away with cleaning/replacing, etc whenever I do a little job. It's too easy to say I'll replace this, that and the other while something is off, but as I use my 944 daily I can't afford to have it off road for too long at any one time.

I'm probably going to buy a run around so I can recitfy that though!

car's gone to paint so decided to rebuild this



stripped it down the foam is starting to fall apart so ordered new from opc and I'll make new flaps



Quite dirty but not as bad as I thought considering 25 years

So started putting it back togtether I can confirm 944's are dish washer prrof so whilst the wife was out put all the plasrtic's in the dishwasher they came out a treat[:)]



foam was falling apart on all the flats so I cleaned and added new foam

3 years of ownership I have been itching to do this ever since I purchased the car[:)]

PAINTED MY RUSTY BRAKE BOOSTER[:)][:)]

Looks good. It's fun getting the nuts off the bolts inside at the top of the passenger footwell, isn't it?
It also seems to be suspended in mid-air!

Once again, nice work After getting caught using the dishwasher to clean several bits I now have my own dishwasher in the garage.

LOL! Does that mean you can put Jizer in the soap dispenser?

Only one Gasket still availiable from Porsche so cut new ones from some neoprene



Noticed the black clips were missing so I replaced all the little plastic clips and fitted the metal locking clips



repared the wiring harness and All done

[DaveM]

Did you manage to find neoprene with an adhesive backing? I sort of repaired mine with strips of draught excluder but might replace them with the same as you before I put the dash back in.

it is available but the adhesive is only rated to 65 deg, so I purchased the Non Adhesive backing and glued into place,

However is is clamped between the two surfaces so even if the adhesive failed it will still be Ok

[DaveM]

Thanks Ken, I didn't check what temp the glue is good for on mine so think I'll be replacing it all with something similar

nice sunny day today so sat in the garden and made some new engine bay heat sheilds, new ones not avilable from porsche so purchased some 0.5mm aluminium



cut the shape out got some engine bay heat protection material



the old and the new, just need some ali tape for the edges, I will bend the ali into shape then fit the backing and seal before the final install
