Just another EASY story...

I went in to EASY a year or two back. My youngest has a 944 and the rear hatch has separated the metal trim from the glass. Jim and John described it as one of the most common 944 problems with power steering pump being #2 or #3. I asked if they had a good one and Jim said "I don't think I've seen one come through that didn't have the same problem he (Nicho) already had. A year later, I drop in again. John says "Hey, Jim hid something for you." He takes me back in the back and there is the holy 944 grail. A perfect rear hatch. They sell it to me for $100 bucks. That might not mean anything to you until I tell you that if you go to your Porsche dealer, you can buy a brand new one, without the spoiler, for $2500.00! Most places try to get a percentage of the new price and I'm sure it isn't <5%! Thanks for the deal and the memories John and Jim! Good luck in the future!

Jim was good about saving things for the right guy, years ago I was cobbling together my first roadster and Jim had an NOS windshield post receiver in his glass case, he sent it to me.
