944 Turbo '87 Young man's first Porsche

Putting protective plastic on.





Applying some fresh Diamant Blau color to wheel wells & bottom







After 3 layers of base color it turned out quite nice. We added also 3 layers clear coat to wheel wells





As a first timer, son made it well with his cheap Sata clone spray gun.

Finally a new page... =)

Vad är det för massa dom lagt på?

[Olli951]

All undercoating is Porsche original from factory. After wash up it looked just perfect. The body is in very good condition, hardly any rust. Wheelwells were also painted in factory. Bottom was in "natural", undercoating is some sort of whiteish stuff, hard to tell.

okey nice job

[Olli951]

Seems to me building a car is more or less washing & cleaning up parts

[Dirfors]

This is going to look ten times more awesome than when it was brand new! Keep up the good work!

Today will be a day for some arctic parts digging. I am going to pick up "new" brake lines (ABS) from a friends yard. Only problem is there's some snow (about 1m) surrounding 944 S2 which will donate those vital parts, luckily it will be a bit warmer than -29C we had few days ago

S2 wreck in October (no snow....)




There is also a 951 which has already given to son's project 951 it's AC system and some other parts...
Restored AC unit on right taken from that wreck




Son's project 951 almost had a same faith. Here it is at the same yard when son bought it




ABS system will be a 951/S2/Boxster combo, so 951 ABS pump & "brains" will be replaced by a Boxster unit . Just bought a suitable ABS pump from UK.

First arctic digging session is over. Due the short time i had available, not much progress. Got to continue tomorrow.

There is the part donator



Shoveled some snow....




Had some good company as well

Not bad to have one horsepower in a car without an engine

[Olli951]

Well, actually my co-worker is a pony, so it's about ½ horsepower

[Olli951]

It was so warm, just -16C, so we decided to continue some arctic digging. Went to friends yard with my son and another friend Juha, who owns a nice 968 (bought from Sweden few years ago).
Empty shell is quite light. I suppose two man can easily turn it over. I was just there pretending to lift, but i suppose it was my son & Juha who actually did the job




Juha searching if there is still something usable



Here's Juhas fine 968 with Turbo splitter i have made

[Olli951]

We received some extra parts to be installed

[Bubby]

those doorhandles makes a huge difference.. but it is a pain in the *ss to mount the linkage.. don't now how they did it when they build the cars..

[Olli951]

Installed 968 handles & mirrors to my own 951 11 years ago. Was easy and straight forward job to do. After that have installed several sets more. When you learn the procedure, it's quite easy.
