OK UPDATE
Project Des as it's been nick named by a few Porsche friends. [
]
I have had it off the road for the last 2 months in a garage up the road.. As the leak in the roof was leaking with all the rain so much it was coming in thick and fast and i didn't want to ruin the seats which are in great shape. So in the lock up it's dried out to almost 90% so the last 10% it's in my garage now with a heater on oil fired and it's slowly taking that to 100% with the seats pulled out to get it just cooked! [

as it's 2014 I have a small list of jobs to do as follows
One is the run roof!
two is the bonnet release backing plate thingy that snapped
rear tail gate seal
Water sound!!!!!!!!!! [&:]
So leaking sunroofs..
going to go to the main dealer and get a drawing up on the 944 and order the sunroof seals that I can see.. going to throw some money at the sun roof in the hope to fix this as I don't want it to ruin the inside it's too nice for that.
For people who have had the sunroof seal go on them is this the right direction for me
Bonnet plate thingy
Not ordered it yet but I will be and it's looking fairly common fix to be honest I will look to some how lube up the cable and nope this is then fixed for good with a new plate from Porsche..
Will I need to buy the handle as well do you think it looks good still I just thought should I order one incase I break it taking it off?
Rear tail gate seal..
Unfortunately driving the car with the window open I get fumes in the cab I know it's the seal to the tail gate but I am not 100% sure this is the answer in my case.. the pin that locks the hatch down on closer inspection is raised and spacing the hatch off the rear part of the body.. I have tried to adjust the pin but it's rusted to death and I am afraid of breaking it!
looking to see if I can get the whole unit off and leave it in a can of diesel to loosen off . Before I go getting new parts.
Water sound in the upper tray area at the lower part of the windscreen
I mentioned this before and I can't find it again but some one did mention about a thermostat for it might be the issue and air in the system so I will look into that.. I am not sure if I found a small leak in the car when I was looking at the bonnet release catch plate behind the carpet in the floor area of the passenger footwell I think I saw a small trickle of water it could be condensation it could be a leak as it's under this upper tray area of the bulkhead I am concerned enough to look into it.
to the right of this picture. you can just make out part of what I am talking about..
I have looked at the car in detail more and I am going to repaint the car. It's clearly had other parts painted so it's not original paint anymore and some area's are really bad others almost saveable But with new paint I can sort out the issues as I go. Like slight bubbles on the passenger side sill I have had the camera in there and it's all ok in there just surface but I am not worried if it was bad as I have already repaired such an area on my wifes 944S2 from scratch and it was a nice job to be honest.
It's white so I can get away with alot of issues as I am going to paint this at home in the garage to save costs. I will be looking for a new bonnet as it's got some sort of bow in it I think from some sort of accident damage in it's past history as the front lights rub the bonnet as they open so some thing has moved there in the past.
Anyway all this bad weather and rain has not been all that bad it's allowed me to do my other passion, this.
