Porsche 944, making the daily driver pretty

[rockthemullet]

So this thing sat in my backyard for like a year and a half with a fuel leak and a few imperfections here and there. I accepted a position with a new company that effectively increased my drive to work from 18 minutes to an hour so I needed something gas efficient (i.e. not my Expedition). I got the Porsche fixed (battery and a damn 1/2"x5" hose) and started driving it. Couple weeks ago, I got a bug up my ass and wanted to make it nice. Planned on wrapping it but everything lined up and it ended up getting painted.

How it sat

Up and running

Not for long (still working bugs out)

Stripped down and trailered (6/1)

During paint after body

Full color change, done right.

Back from paint/body (6/8 )

Final assembly

Changed the wheels out for Porsche 911 996 twin turbo wheels to compliment the paint.

Next steps include getting it more reliable and change out some of the tired suspension.

I love 944s been thinking of getting one but want an s2 951 there awesome cars and you can get a super clean one cheap! Car is looking great love turbo twists on them I would've left the car black personally but the blue looks good as well.

Buddy had one of those in college that was a blast to drive. Had full exhaust, tune, dumped wastegate, and some shit intake. Not the fastest car in the world, but still would run a high 13.9 lol.

[bizzmeister]

That's pretty badass man, I like it.

 

[1QuickS2]

Love it! I miss my s2 every day.

Ive been wanting one of these for an auto x project for a while. I love older Porsches and a 944 comes second to an 88 911 for me.

Nice, good to see something different! I love when people fix up the old classics.
