Got a line on a 924. Needs some body work and has not been run is about 6 or 8 months. It was a donated vehicle and no price has been set. What is the general consensus on the 924 and would it be worth it if I could get it for $200 or $300 buck? I know it had an audi motor in it and was underpowered. But tell me a little more about them. What do you know about them?

924s where very popular in Europe and Rest of the world market the 944 was or model.
Get it make it run a good beater, Rabbit front suspension with a strange combo of beatle rear suspension. It is slightly different, but I can bolt them rear arms up on a IRS VW pan for a good converion. If it is a turbo you get a 5 bolt pattren if not your back to 4 bolts. They can make a nice car balanced hndling but they feel bloated comparied to a 914. V-8 swaps are well documented but I would do a small lite V-6 3800 Supercharged comes to mind or a 3800 Turbo. So for 2 to 3 hundred dollars is it worth it to you. If it was mine I would swap in a 1.8T motor out of an a-4 and pickup a early 944 suspension, and make it into a 924 GTR body kit, Oh that would be sweet. Attached image(s) |
