In all seriousness though, they are really a pain in the *** to work on. Big time.

It would be better to find a classic air cooled manual ***** 911 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Exactly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Much better looking...worlds easier to work on...

but a 350 chevy conversion done right in it would be pretty sweet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Why would you even consider a old *** porsche for a project car? Theyre ugly as shit. You could do way better with the money youd dump into it.

This one is looking like a good deal, but it's brown:crap:
Are they a PITA money pit for a project car?

my uncle had a 88 928, it was always at the shop for something

they are dogs off the line, but go like a scalded dog after the hit 30-40mph. I took mine to 152mph here in Cayman (no freeways). then sold it the following week. me+928s=death

My dad bought a 91 928 a year ago. Car sounds amazing, and a big overhead cam v8 is cool, even if its not the usual porsche layout/motor.

The car is slow though, not geared for acceleration down low, more for top speed. It is an automatic, the 5 speed version may be more fun. It is also a money pit, if you ever have problems parts/labor could ****. An 82" timing belt is just crazy.

I totally agree. That thing is ugly and it's probably a pain to fix up. I wouldn't even consider it. Look into another car imo.

they are a good deal,you can pick one up pretty cheap ...I would not buy one though unless you can do your own fixes...Like any older car its gonna need some TLC and trust me when I say

parts aren't cheap and going to a mechanic is not either ..So if your a DIY car guy Id jump on it

but not in brown

 

[mcsoul 10+ year member]

This is a brown money pit, obviously I would paint it black but that just

another expense. I don't think this is going to happen.

944's are cheaper and look better to me.

I have a friend who dropped a 350 in a 944 and that thing would haul
