Compared to my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , my 2500 dollar 944 has many less issues. For my purposes and for the entertainment of oppo I will make a quick list of the things that need attention on my new to me 944. I just got back from a 3 hour drive from Connecticut with Aaron Brown (he was in his 944) and put 130 miles on my newly purchased car. It didn't skip a beat and I love the car to bits. This car is second to probably only a miata in terms of fun-ness to drive (but the 944 is much more practical!).

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

- (not really an issue but something I need to do) Check last time timing and Balance shaft belt were changed. If no records or nothing written in engine bay, replace both belts and water pump/rollers.

-Hatch struts (steal from 924)

-Hood emblem (steal from 924)

-Fix fender dent (biggest issue with car)

-Fix power steering (no fluid in there at the moment and to be honest, I am not really a fan of power steering so this is not very high on my priority list.)

-Fix cigarette lighter and clock

-Put in a radio from this century (radio is easily from the mid 90's)

-Replace center console "storage box"

-Minor rips in seats (probably gonna live with this)

-Power sunroof "gears" need to be replaced.

-Cracked dash (has a dash pad but I want to fix the dash that's there.)

-Change all fluids out (everything in there at the moment is good but for my own peace of mind)

-Wash and generally clean the car up and enjoy :)

Keep in mind that these are all rather minor issues and the car is in great shape as it stands right now. I just want to make it as perfect as it can be :) The upgrade from 924 to 944 was totally worth it and hopefully soon the 924 will find a new home where it can be appreciated and restored.

I have a radio I cant use that you might be able to put in, let me know if youre interested. Its a pretty current Pioneer.

This means you need to drive out to more shows back in Jersey, right?

This whole 944 thing really makes me think...

Lets just say that the 924 has bigger things to worry about...
