While looking for either a 914 or other inexpensive Porsche as a first project to work on with my 16 year old grandson I ran across a 944 with a bad automatic tranny. How tough is it to convert it over to a manual, and how pricey do you think it will be.
Do you have experience working on a 944 ?
From what i understand it can be difficult and expensive
So not really much sense in putting in a ton of time and money into a project that will never be worth much
But if your son is 16 and its a father son project
Get a aircooled vw beetle( disposable car ) . tons of learning how to work on it ... For very little expense. And that experience transfer over to the 914 when you find one .
