McCoey Posted 19July, 2018 Report Share Posted 19July, 2018 I've been lurking for a while, and thought it time to join. Been in and around Porsche's from an early age, my Father worked at Hamilton's from the late 70's to the mid 90's as the buyer/valuer and used car manager, many of the old blokes here will no doubt know him. Anyways, I've had a 944 come into my possession with the idea of a resto to my tastes, it's an 83' so the lightest of the lot. No A/C, no P/S, basically no bullshit. Always loved the transaxle P cars, almost as much as the 911. I Intend on turning into something nice, think RS in idea and execution ( Currently I work within a motorsport team, so putting something like that together shouldn't be to much of a stretch... I hope ) It's also a car that passed through my late fathers hands during the late 80's so there's some sentiment attached to it as well. Anyways, just for shits and giggles this is me sometime in the 80's at Sandown, maybe 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 20July, 2018 Report Share Posted 20July, 2018 So much potential with old 944s. It's just I can't bear to take the can opener to mine as it's so original (& I have other mouths to feed ) All the best with the project McCoey!
