Well guys I'm back, After selling my E28 project and my E30 AND my beloved truck for money to go to school. Well school is just about over and I know that I don't want to drive my dads F350 after I get home in 3 months...
So anyways last week I was back home and me and my pops were looking on craigslist just screwing around looking at cheap cars that he may try and flip and just cars to kick tires on while I was in town. we came across many cars e30s e36s e24s 240s 300s on and on and out of everyone I texted only one guy responded and he had a 1988 Porsche 944 N/A. The guy wanted 3k so I figured I would go offer him like 2k see if he bites and if he doesn't then whatever I walk and never look back.
I call up my buddys we pile in my old E46 (I gave it to my mom) and I start driving to toward Chicago. I drive 10 minutes and I get a call from the guy with the car and he says that he just will bring it to me... I dont know why anyone would drive 2 hours in rush hour traffic to bring me a car I'm most likely not buying. But I said what ever and let him.
He gets to my house after two long hours and I go and look at the car. Rust free new tires blah blah. So me and my dad go to take it on a test drive annnnd
we go straight through the stop sign.: rofl
The brakes where almost non existent. I bring the car back we talk and I offer him 1500 and after going back and forth on the price he agrees!
Then this is where scum bag me comes into play. I go into the house and only grab 1300... I go outside and tell him ill do 13 or I'm walking. The guy almost cried. He let out a DOOOOOOD COMEONNNNNNNNNN and then he took my money lol
We signed the title and he gave me service records and left.
Once he left I went through the records and I find out some amazing news!
Timing belt service, rebuild trans, engine was pulled painted and remarketed, and 1800 dollar clutch. AWWWWWW YEAH
NOW IF YOU EVEN READ THE STORY. I will stop boring you now
Picture time!
The interior was trashed. Seats destroyed carpet looking like a rainbow.... it was bad.
So I started hunting and I remembered i had E28 sport seats in the shed! Why not right I'm a BMW guy!
So I took apart the Porsche seats and the BMW seats
Cut up the Porsche rails....
I whipped together some adapters and BOOM like they where mint to be
Me and my brother where also working on his Mr2 so that slowed my progress of doing too much else to the Porsche for the week I was in town...
Before
And test fit
And then I had to go back to Florida
This was my house the day I left... my neighbors **** me.
This will be a slow build until I get home for good but I wanted opinions....
My plans are as follows
Mk1 golf front coilovers (I hear this works I still need more research)
16x 9 and 16x10 wheels (still don't know what kind but I'm changing lug pattern to 5x114.3)
Rear calipers off an e36 M3 with turbo rotors (I broke the bleeder screw off in both rear calipers and rear calipers I have concluded do not exist)
Rear seat delete
And that's all I gots right now...
Oh an I MIGHT remove the rubber spoiler and make a custom duck tail... idk yet.
