Sounds like the fan temp switch in the radiator has gone bad. The switch screws into the radiator about halfway down on the drivers side. Unplug the two wires from the switch and touch them together. ...

Oh man, that sucks. Very bad luck to end up upside-down on top of those cables.

Prayers for the driver and his family.

Yeah, Vancouver and Boston in the finals sounds good.

If my Pens can't win it, then I pull for Original Six and/or Canadian teams.

Ooof. That'll do it for the Wings. Too bad, I was hoping they would pull it out.

Hmmm, I didn't know they changed the trailing arms in mid '85. Interesting.

Anyway, yeah, the dash is the giveaway. If it looks like your 924, then it's an early 85. If it looks way more up-to-date ...

Wouldn't either one work for a 5-lug/disc brake conversion? The wheel offset didn't change until '87.

Rear hatch struts are easy. They don't have to be compressed like the hood struts do.

If you were able to switch out the hood struts without breaking the windshield, then you're good to go on the r ...

The wheels on your parts car are sticking out awfully far. Are they Fuchs, by any chance?

Not really sure. I didn't get a shot of them. I know they are 5lug and that they aren't the "trash can ...

Or, you can convert to ma ...

I try to discourage anyone who doesn't do their own repairs from buying a 944. Even if it's in perfect condition (which they never are), preventive maintenance is ridiculously expensive if done by a c ...

That is fantastic! A thing of beauty and a piece of history.

I hope you plan on enjoying it the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Responsibly, of course.

Thanks guys.

@ the mad electrician: Nothing wrong with second-hand. Most of my stuff is second-hand. Or third-hand, or fourth-hand...... And I love the stacks too. Hate to cover them up with filter ...

Today, after many weeks and many dollars worth of "while you're in there" crap, I finally put the head back on my '81 Weissach.

To celebrate, I hung the Webers back on, slapped the valve ...

924, 944 (early and late), and 944 turbo are all the same except for the turn signal cancelling ring, which can be swapped easily.

911 is different from 924, etc. The splines are different.
