This is surely going to be the best 944 in the country for many many years to come. Good on you for putting all of that effort into the second best model in the range. [

Fantastic thread! I think you offer this to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart as a loan - surely better than any other 944 they have on display!

Stunning work! Off to google 'Polytrol' ...
Great job ! we are doing similar restoration on son's 951. We have tried to find out how does UK models battery tray look like. Our plan is to remove battery from it's original location (son's car was sold originally in Switzerland) to back like it is on UK models. Found out you have fabricated a new tray. Any chance you have dimensions available, so we could fabricate similar one ?

Yes sure I can send a cad on Monday []
]Sounds great ! Thanks Looks like i am forced to do douple restorations at the same time. Just made an agreement with a friend of mine who has a 951 for parts. His parts car have ABS which my 951 lacks. He promised all ABS parts to me if i give him my 951's non ABS parts.... So we are going to make double Boxster ABS conversion at the same time []

as you can see the headlight wiring harness was not the best so I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and buy a direct wiring harness ....5 mins install, totally reverseable what could go wrong[] dodgey harness
new direct harness
OK well it fits but just looks totally wrong.. 1,firstly the wires will not go through the OEM weather proof caps 2,wires are far too long and the insulation looks cheap and nasty 3.live does not reach the battery or the alternator so here starts the 5 mins install[] firstly cut all the wires to the correct length and added connectors to allow the light protection boots to be used, covered everything in heat shrink....starting to look better
now the harness comes with a small mounting plate and inline fuses which do not look exactly Porsche quality so I laser cut a mounting plate and powdercoated matt black
Sorry for the long post but it's only a 5 min job[] mounted it on the existing brackets........took me a little over 6 mins I guess I'm a bit slow[]

]Just pm:ed my e-mail address. Nice job with wiring harness. I have so called Ice Shark kit which i got years ago from late Dan Wray as a birthday gift. I have planned to duplicate it, so i can have one in my own 951 and the second one in son's project car. That's a perfect solution to mount relays to that factory made bracket with a plate. I suppose i will do the same.
