Well having had 944's in some shape or form since 1993-2008 i thought its about time i bought another one...well sort of as i went to a trading estate to buy a grille and a horn for a renault clio and ended up coming home in a recovery truck with a white 944 on the back of it.

Not sure what to do with it yet but just couldnt resist it,Its got PH Sports car on the number plates and autofarm on the mats and looks to have been quite a well kept car,its a white lux with d90's and a turbo rear valance

I think this is the 4th time ive just chanced apon a 944 and bought it on a whime,ive got my 968 now so i really dont need the 944 but just looked like a nice little project to keep me occupied.

[944 man]

Have you 'HPId' it? In my opinion/experience PHSportscars registration plates equate to a 50/50 chance that the car has been repaired.

Didnt hpi it as its already on the V5 that its recorded as damaged in 2003.

To put images in your post simply add the text:

in you posting. Those sill covers would worry me, but then you bought it as a project so it doesn't matter. Enjoy.

 

[random hero]

Cheers for that,ill try again next time. Had the covers off today and while the sills have seen some welding and do need a bit more they are far better than i was expecting although it dosnt matter as i bought it as a parts car anyway.

 

[random hero]

Exactly what i thought,just cant imaging someone fitting it and standing back to admire their handy work and saying "yep that looks great". The skirts/wheels have been on a while by the looks of it and other than that the car is standard and well looked after with a lot of the usual broken/missing items/parts still working and good condition so why someon fitted the shark fin and dodgy merc style vents to the sills is beyond me.

 

[944 man]

Perhaps its covering an equally errant aerial hole? Some people drill before thinking and connecting wires...

 

[random hero]

Thats what i thought but ive ripped it off and its actually a proper aerial and was connected up..

 

[944 man]

Is there a hole drilled through the roof?

 

[supersport]

Sometimes there is just no accounting for taste, but sounds like a good one.

 

[random hero]

Yep there is a hole in the roof plus another one drilled at the rear of the roof as well,the shark fin may of looked slightly better if it was fitted at the back although either way it made the car look like an upturned surfboard []. Ive done some sums and althought the car has some strong/good points the numbers dont stack up to save .
