Porsche 944 Turbo Restoration - Picture Heavy

If I ever finish this one[:D]... Capricorn have finished machining the block and doing whatever they do pistons ceramic coated whatever that does I guess they will look nice [:D] Got some forged rods and some other nice goodies ...... Simon is moving faster than me so need to pul my finger out and get my bit finished
 
Im really keen to see a 924 Turbo fettled in the same manner Ken. Im hoping that youll buy the 931 before the 951 is finished (because I doubt that the 951 will ever be finished, no matter how good it is). [:D]
 
so finished this up today[:)] fitted the bearing

finished the hardest job ever[:mad:][:mad:] rebuilt the engine harness changed all the plug's injector, crank sensor, knock sensor etc used the latest style plugs they seem to be stronger, despite the harness being in good condition and the car was running well every injector plug had a broken/cracked wire so I'm glad I did this ....no longer available so rebuild is the only option

Fantastic as always! I can't wait to see this car when it's back together. Is it the plugs no longer available or just the complete loom?

I've tried in the past to fix with fibreglass etc but it never lasts so I made some aluminmum brackets

fixings go right through to the other side ...they are not coming out [:)]

I have made complete cardboards from glssfibre. They hold nicely. Your solution is good and will last forever.
 
My climate control unit was in good condition but the clear plastic bit was badly cracked (bottom one) so I purchased a cheap Non air con one for £40 delivered which has a near perefct clear bit, these are NLA from Porsche so used seems to be the only option destroyed the unit getting the clear bit off without braking any of the little clips

easy job to change the switches over and re-assemble

Can someone please post a picture showing the ABS brake pipes and the location of the clips, fuel pipes etc[:)]
 
Question for you Ken. When your car is finished are you going to put it in a glass display case[:(] or drive it to destruction[:D] or sell it to Stuttgart [8|] to cover the cost of your blood sweat and tears ......... and outgoings[:'(]

My aim has always been to create a new 944 when it's done, and it will be (march next year) then I'll drive it every day in summer not so much in the winter .......The large boot will come in handy for carrying the parts for the 931[;)]
