944 is an awesome first car. I bought both my sons 944 projects (non-turbo). Fairly easy to work on, parts are available & cheap. It's decently reliable and a hoot to drive. The parts & garage forums over on the Bird are really good, too - lots of help out there.
And the boys will always be able to say their first car was a Porsche. Oh yeah.
I might have an extra door handle if Bruce can't find one.
Thanks for looking! It ran when we got it but not so I’d want to drive it. I tuned it up for him and the difference was dramatic! He thought I was a magician. His spark plug gap was .050”! The throttle response was totally fixed and the gassy smell from the exhaust was almost gone. We just finished restoring the interior and he says he is in love with the car again. He really only needed the seat centers replaced. Guess who makes 944 seat center cushion vinyl presown? 914Rubber!
