Before I buy this and LS-swap it. I barely know how to fix my own cars but this non-running 944 for $400 is bringing up all kinds of emotions. Talk me out of it.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I seriously am not qualified to pick up such a project. Please convince me that I seriously am not qualified to pick up such a project.

You are seriously not qualified to pick up such a project, it would seem.

Unless you have a well-funded savings account gathering dust.

I have enough disposable income to buy a cheap Porsche, but I do not have the disposable income to get a cheap Porsche roadworthy. Only cheap thing about a cheap Porsche is the purchase price.

Ahh you’re so right. If I buy it at the bottom of the depreciation curve, I will STILL lose money on it. Ugh. Thank you for saving me $8k with your sage advice :)

Assuming you have another running daily driver and somewhere to put this, I see no issues.

Its only an issue when you pick up a project as your daily driver. Unless of course you like not sleeping.

I might as well just LS-swap my MR2 instead. Probably cheaper than the Porsche project...

do a 4th gen 3s-gte swap that would probably be a lot fuckin cheaper and easier. and if you LS swap a mr2 please put lojack in your car so they know where to bring the big spatula that scrapes you off the asphalt.

It sounds like what you want is a LT1/LT4 C4 vette. That’ll get you an old, good handling 300+hp sports car for a lot less than LS swapping a 944.

You are out of your mind! This is so far above your pay grade, that it will leave you frustrated and broke. Baby steps!!!

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > way2blu does a rev update 09/26/2017 at 18:59

No buy it. Put a carborated 350 in it. Just expect the project to take 3 years and cost double what you thought
