Congrats! They are a fun car and it is amazing how cheap they are.

I didn't see it mentioned but Clark's Garage is an excellent resource.

My 1983 944

I know where I can get a 924T for $1500, not bad shape but it has a blown auto tranny. Same guy has a 924S for the same money, It had an issue too, I forget what, but for the coin it was not a deal breaker.
I was thinking of buying one to make a winter beater, but I couldn't beat the economics of a Honda Civic beater.

Big fan of the transaxle cars with both an ‘87 928S4 and an ‘87 951 in the stable.

Interesting history on the plates as they were special issue back in 1986!

Yes, and unfortunately the Year of Manufacture program only goes up through 1980 so my 1983 is stuck with lipstick plates. Hopefully in a few years they will extend the YOM program and I can get the sunset or the blue plates.

Either way you should keep yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Been working through the refresh and still a few things to button up mechanically.

The dreaded oil pan seal needs replacement and still dealing with a hot start issue that is not the DME relay so will look at the injectors and fuel dampener next.

Did have the opportunity to give it a DIY exterior detailing and ceramic coat. Paint is nice and shiny now, but still pretty baked on the roof.

Car handles extremely well and took it back to the location for WCR 2019 at the top of San Gabriel Canyon Road this past Saturday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

@flacaproductions

The product is Armor Shield IX from Avalon King

https://avalonking.com/


Looks great & not difficult to apply, however it needs to cure indoors for several days. There is a lot of information on their website. Liked it so much that I did my 986 as well and will apply it to the 914 when I get time.

The prep is time consuming as it requires the following steps:

Iron remover
Clay Bar
Compound
Polish
Ceramic
Optional Top Coat to extend the life of the Cermaic Coat which seems worth it given the amount of prep required.

@Mikey914

Already bought the glove box arms and LCD clock repair kit from you on Black Friday. Did the arms last Sunday and they worked out great!
