Hi, one of my local scrap yards has a 944 being broken? I had a quick look, but wondered if anyone knows of any parts worth salvaging for use in a 914?

The headlight pivots are the same.
Hubs are wanted by VW Bus guys.

rear wheel spacers and 80mm studs.

combo gauge is nice if you have a waterpumper swap. 160mph speedo. other gauges jic.

5 lug wheels. My local Pic-a-part gets $100/set so even if I don't need them I can't say no.

There are other stuff like switches that can be resold.

The small space saver spare may be worth getting, depending on condition.

The compressors for these are worth good money also.

Right I feel trip back is on the cards. I looked at the space saver, which was kind of weird looking!

I think the wheels have gone, are the rear spacers attached to the hubs or simply over the studs??

I had read somewhere that the windshield wiper motor could be used to convert to a 3 speed, but I can’t find the reference.

IIRC, the rear trailing arms, especially the alloy Turbo ones, can be used for Type 1 disc brake conversions.

If it were me and I was already there, I'd harvest whatever I could. 944 924 values are rising. I'm pretty sure the rear glass hatches are NLA and / or $$$$$. If it has even a "decent" dash, it's worth grabbing. I saw an early 944 NOS dash that was close to $2000.

good point but depending on market most had the removeable near useless roof option,only one I have ever seen is my JDM 89 2.7 ,only bought this non compliant car for the motor only,it was a hardtop but often the JDM cars were budget spec so think it was a sunroof delete.?.

The 5 lug 944 front hubs (bearings, washers and locking nut) and rotors are 911 strut compatible (NOTE - may differ over model years). These items may be of value to anyone doing a 5 lug conversion. I think they even have "911" part numbers...?

I have these on my GT tribute car, courtesy pick'n'pull (though I did replace the bearings with new ones),
