BJM Posted 15August, 2016 Report Share Posted 15August, 2016 I'm looking for 944 to turn into a "club day track car."There is not much out on the open market at the moment & I was hoping the PFA family might have some leads. Don't care about colour or the shape of dashboard but good mechanical condition is important. I will be stripping the interior out & putting in a half cage with some snug fitting fixed back seats so not fused if the interior is a bit ratty either. It will start life as my daily in FNQ, so having aircon would be a bonus (not something I'm used to have n the 3.2).Unfortunately S2 & Turbos are most likely going to be out of my budget. Any help find my next vice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB911 Posted 15August, 2016 Report Share Posted 15August, 2016 Grab one while you can I think, cheaper ones are still out there but if the price of good cars keeps going up then it will drag them up too. Good luck with the search, they are great cars and would be a brilliant track toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'll cost more than $6500 http://porscheforum.com.au/topic/8046-the-944-racer-project/?page=1 I've looked at those but really want one I can drive to the track first. I might progress to a full track car one day. Your build thread is one of the things that got me into this mess. Grab one while you can I think, cheaper ones are still out there but if the price of good cars keeps going up then it will drag them up too. Good luck with the search, they are great cars and would be a brilliant track toy.That's what I was thinking. Grab it now. Do it up slowly whilst using it as daily. Slippery slope Billy, good luck finding one mate.Yes, in my head I'm already picking up speed.Airhead is not helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB911 Posted 27August, 2016 Report Share Posted 27August, 2016 Body looks a bit rough on the LH side, always worries me what the mechanicals are like if the body is rough... Cheap though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 Posted 3September, 2016 Report Share Posted 3September, 2016 I enquired about that one. Much to be done (panels, rust, new starter motor, new wheel bearings (ouch), some electrics), but would make a reasonable donor for a track car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
