interior trim

[944 lux]

The car I'm looking at will need some bits and pieces of interior trim to tidy it up, so my question is this - is all of the interior trim compatible between models? In particular, the roof trim, boot carpet, and door armrest. The car I'm looking at has also had it's seats changed at some stage and the rear seat backs do not secure in place - is this an easy fix? Thanks in advance.

Basically 944's came with two interiors, early cars with square dashboards and later cars with oval dashboards. They did come with a lot of different colours and patterns on the seats, but parts like roof trim only depends on if it has a sun roof and colour. Boot carpet depends on the size of your spare wheeland colour and I think for all oval dash cars door armrest are all the same apart from colour again and if leather trim. All the parts are easy to get hold of from breakers or new from Porsche.

Boot carpets not only depend on the type of spare wheel but also whether the car has no sunroof (same as a manual sunroof), an early electric sunroof or a later electric sunroof as the side carpets are a different shape to accomodate the different type of motors, and if the side carpets are a different shape the boot floor carpet is slightly different to match.

You will need the appropriate body catches for the seat backs as the early and late cars are different but easily found on ebay.

I would recommend you download the early and late 944 924 and even 968 pdf PETs from the Porsche website for all the different part numbers.

Thanks for the advice - much appreciated. I downloaded the 944 pdf PETs, but they only list the front seats - not the backs

What car are you looking at ?

It's a 1988 2.5 coupe - there's a link to it here

Make sure you check out the sills. The passenger side sill looks to have been repaired or painted, make sure its been done properly. Take the vent off the B pillar and shine a torch in, if the rust is excessive walk away. Interior parts can be had on ebay but blue is a hard colour to find. It looks reasonable in the piccy's though, with nice seats, pity the interior doesn't all match though.

Thanks again. Does the vent just clip out? I was thinking about replacing the carpet with a black or blue one, and similarly if I can't find a blue armrest then a black one would suffice.

Inside the top of the vent there is a little tab that you just pull down and the vent should just pull out. Other areas to check if you are prepared to get down and dirty are the rear suspension pick up points. The sunroof leak could be the seal (£70) or the drain pipes (one in each corner) being blocked. If the belt changes are backed up by paperwork it doesn't sound to bad for the money, just remember it is very much a buyers market, start low, you can always come up to what you're happy to pay. 12 months MOT would be worth having also.

The car belongs to sbloxxy (from this forum). I'm going to look at it tomorrow - it's an 80 mile drive there, so fingers crossed it will be what I'm looking for.

Let us know how you get on and good luck.
