Meh. Needs paint and a proper stance
Looks like a good project. Body looks like it's not in too bad of shape. some nice looking paint will definitely have it looking pretty sharp. Congrats.
Awesomesauce! Paint it red.
Because it's cool in red.
looks cool
congrats

Metalic blue plz
Darker colors for the loss really. They are harder to keep clean.

This colour.
fuking sexi. verry jelous
paint it black man.
+1 ^
Love white cars.
Well whatever you do, don't act like the asshat who drives one of those to my school. He hit a kid on a bike because they were both skipping out of class and not paying attention... Somehow he got away with it and the kid on the bike got suspended.
cool car dude, i love the 944
keep it OEM plees
ah nice find, the cool porsche
silver would look nice on it actualy, maybe add a black stripe along the rocker pannel with the cars number like some of those 911 high end models do and the mustang GT

new pics
can haz description of what you just did?
naiiiiiiccceeee. i expect text updates this week!
Idears.
There is a black one with newer porsche rims, chromed (just like the second pic) around here, i see it from time to time, looks sick.
He never said that... He just said it had rims from a newer model; never that any Porsche could have rims from any model... It's not like he told you to buy Cayenne rims or anything.
Oh... Pardon my ignorance.
But even Cayenne wheels on this?
I didnt think I would have to specify any mass production porsche.
Okay, okay...
Back on topic, cool car bro. Get some cool rims and drop dat bish.
*likes*

1983 Porsche 944 that I picked up today. Gonna be used for parts that I need and the rest will be parted out.

What did it get hit by wow its messed up to bad for the one rime is done for
would have bought a tempo with that much moniez S but yeah that's one good parts car.
Should look good Black Body Black Center rims and Grey interior what thats a sexy combo
Interior is Tan/Brown.
Yeah Justus, he originally wanted 1300 but we talked for a while about what I was gonna use it for and out of the blue he said he would take 1000.
oh crap my bad thats going to be different thats for sure should look sweet still
that's the clolor of my pal's 944
At least these seats are leather. The ones in my black one are just vinyl.
Leather it has is ups and downs lol but god is it nice to sit in lol
Very nice. And the 944 stock seats hug the body so well.
nice thing you have there, the rims and interior look good dude
hows the engine?
I'm thinking of buying 2 beetles next summer
motor runs. 119K miles.
Was Ian the previous owner of the red one?
LOL. I was actually talking to him on MSN and he said something about that it matches his Z.
Haha, I win!
And get a GOOD rim! Those are cool and you need to use them!
lmao PLL need to learn to open there eyes lmao
I thought that... something. I dunno. But I had a reason.
IDK. But I thought it was pretty easy to figure out when I took the pictures I sort of had that in mind but I guess some people is dumb.
Yes, is dumb some me.
sooo, updates?
are you going to use the interior from the wrecked car?
is it leather?
Yes hes transplanting the Leather interior from the Red to his Black one
primer is wet sanded in the rear with 2000 grit.
i love wet sanding just make sure to wiper her down or you'll get some nasty ass finish post up some pics of your progress if you can
Take the interior of th red one.
... can any of you read?
i wus just trying to get a conversation going, cheez
looks like an airplane, fasten belts, haha
LULZ at the PCA.
Also, that's very nice. Take a lot of parts from it, because you just should.
Thats like the wet dream of all Parts car right there dude look at all the Kool Parts!!!
yo dawg use all the parts in the red one for completing ur black one specially the inetrior :U

HEY MAN R U GUNNA PUT THA TAN 1 IN THE BLACK 1, I THINK U SHULD
SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST BUT!
( DERP DERP )
(Pickup truck lookin)
Dont worry about the rust there its getting ground out tomorrow and then protection coated.
it looks like your wheels are standing like /---/
nice progress
Nice machine guns!
YOU ARE NOT JAMES BOND
Also, needs moar sandin'
OMNOMNOM
I just thought! You should make a replica of your car with the 944 turbo in Forza 3. Make it look all primered with sanded spots, find wheels close to yours, etc, etc.
Then we can have a replica photoshoot of our cars!
And I can make the SVT Focus look as sedan-ful as possible? ;D
Also, I made you a cake for inspiration.
NEW s**tTY PICS!
and to all of you who wanted me to paint it red, that is about as red as its gonna get!
Super cool night vision pic.
Cool. But I see you took out the left headlight of the red one, and din't install it on the black one. WHY RON WHY?
To get the fender off the car.
They run a line of butyl (basically AB weld) and put the fender on and bolt it down and then they cover it about an 1/8th inch thick with undercoating so its almost like they welded it to the chassis.
1st coat of paint
2nd Coat
3rd Coat
4th Coat
This is the air filter on the air system for the HVLP gun before you lay down all the paint for one coat.
And this is it after
CLEAR COAT TOMORROW MORNING!
cool
is going to be awesome
dude u gotta use the red car interior
maybe so. I was thinking of installing lawn chairs.
you should have seen the filters in our garage when we painted my car.
before/after
Anyways, looks naice.
you're a lucky bastard, do you know that? how much is tax, insurance, etc...? cos my fiesta nearly crippled me for insurance
my parents are paying the insurance. but only because i am fine with liability.
192 every 3 months.
i paid the taxes. like $183.
o hey.

OM NOM NOM
is it just the camera or does it normally sound like a dying diesel engine? O_o
lol, okay. I can't wait to hear it when it is completely put together.
Coolio. You should stickerbomb it.
lol i only just found this thread. Great build so far. Needs moar rims, low, stance etc etc and a better steering wheel LOL
keep us posted
More rims? So like, T-Rex it?
was thinking more like 17-18s with a little bit of dish. coilovers and a shave
no sexspec. Clean please.
>restates exactly what i was implying in the first place
with a 944 its best to just keep her clean and fresh
I'm not gonna lie... that hood looks retarded. lol
I agree lmao just the rims lmao
Like these.
Lovely
lmfao that civic look like a midget thing or something bahaha
awesome car,ron.i agree with the offset rims,what u think about some like fuchs ? but big.
The chrome Porsche wheels!
Rims like these
And, now this is just throwing ideas out there for the future, but seriously. do it.
Is that a window-mounted spoiler?
damn jred
ah,yeah bbs style rims are pretty awesome too...more than fuchs
Jared has the right idea for the wheels.
Lol naw. Im gonna sell this after a while and buy a 944 Turbo.
Damn whos this guy i keep seeing on the road.
its my car.....
but looks sweet dude!
this
I wish mine was a turbo.
I wish mine was a... oh wait...
no mike it is not an evo.
Very cool, you have to give it orange rims i think.
I never wanted it to be
Well the 944 turbo would be the top of the line edition of my car
fluro orange volk te37s plus tein coilovers equals mean stance
ROTIFORMS
Polished lip, black center
Yalls be trippin
and yes, the 944 turbo is slightly faster then my car
lowered leaf springs in the rear
well then majorly mod it.
bag it bitch!
I sawed a bagged cebic last night
crap photo but you get idea
lol
i see a commodore LOL
Is that a civic or an accord? It looks like it has accord tails
its a civic with painted light i think
back to the Porsche?
Porsche is gonna stay mainly stock and then be sold.
bummer, a car like that would go for like 30 grand over here
and about 20k here

most of those are turbos... ron's is a plain one. nicely restored though so i'm not sure how much he can get for it.
why you sellin it? gonna get a turbo? or lookin for somethin else untill you can get the turbo?
I think he said he wants a turbo one, but thats just me. :/
@Alex, where?
Gonna buy a tarbo. Should get between 6-7 grand. Im gonna try to sell it for $7500.
i'll buy it for 80
I buy for all the importing costs. Naahh, f**k that s**t.
Why not just turbo this one if you're going for a 944 turbo?
You've already done all that other work to it.
Just saying.
I'm going to try to answer for him even tho I'm not 100% sure. but I'm pretty sure he mentioned to me that all the running gear is almost entirely different. Its just the same body and frame really.
Turbo motor is bigger and has upgraded internals and suspension. Different body style. and the dash is actually pretty.
Basically the non turbo 944 is designed to perform at peak performance without a turbo. and vice versa with the 944T.
Makes sense. I was just asking because It's kind of what I would be more likely to do. Once I start a project car, I just continue to build on it. But if you've got another car that's a better platform for a turbo, that makes sense.
I might buy a 323 Astina, the earlier model, and turbo it, they sound like sex! I saw one race, Great turbo, and omg, when it came past, I loved it, one of the best sounding there.
Remember Martyboy? Well he had this photoshoot with an Aston DBS, but the last minute of the movie thing has something interesting which might be to your likings :U

Bye-bye, Porsche!
um. its getting fixed. asshole.
Why asshole?
idk figure it out. or maybe ill burn you and not fix you up.
I'm really, honestly lost.
^^ x2
Ron, calm. Don't need to snap at people for showing empathy to their understandings of the situation.
It's not his fault VW made Porsches were consistantly recognised for their flammable properties, is it?
VW didn't made Porsche, VW bought Porsche Ed
Also, the owner of porsche back in the days, designed the first VW model
We all knew that...
Nope, the 944 was designed as a Volkswagen, the only reason it didn't end up as a VW was because VW couldn't afford to buy the design off Porsche, hence why most of the 924/944 family aren't really fast at all
Neither is the 928. Those are to normal Porsches what a puddle of vomit is to a normal Maserati.
Hence why I said 'most'
I found out what happened to your car Ron.
You payed more attention to your car then her... so she got even.
Can't blame me for assuming it was gone. You just had a Facebook status at that point saying your car was on fire. No pictures or anything.
And I don't know what you're asking about the normalness. Just a totally average Porsche. Whatever one is the best definition of the company.
Although the 911 Carrera is the bottom bitch of the 911's I would have to say it sells pretty well.
I think the another notable model would be the Boxster. It opened a whole new market for Porsche owners. Even if it is a little bit on the ugly side.
And Girly
idk, kinda dig it
And by those guys with lots of hair gel, big sunglasses, and a tendency to park in handicapped spots.
Haters gonna hate.
