Open Road

Yea, I know. No asking price. Maybe that needs to be a rule here also, but it isn't yet! I'm never going to finish this 86 951. New motor is in. If shows any intrest I'll post up all the new stuff. Bigger turbo, injectors, exhaust, Vitesse maf other goodies. New Konis etc. LSD with cooler thrans, Fuchs . All that stuff. This space will become my man cave / hobby shop once cleared out.

Uh oh. Insert photo function doesn't seem to be working yet. More to come later looks like.

Try to post the images again, I just ran a test and was able to do so.

AS you can see, only get the image icon. When hit the photo button above that is all that happens. Does Not have any options to anywhere and download. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

Ah HA!! Works. Different deal but very workable. Nice.

Click "attachments ", not the photo button.

The picture icon is for linking to something already on the web. Use the attachments tab below or cut and paste into the editor.

I'm looking at upgrading the editor but want to test it tonight when it doesn't negatively impact people who are on.

Hope this helps

Good to see a garage crammed with more crap than mine 8-)
Good luck on the sale. I think RL Forum better place to market even though it have a bad odor.

All the best!

I'll do that soon, just figured friends before strangers deal

I had to just laugh my ass off reading that signature line!

I think Gretch has said it too but not yet added it. I see you also lost your badge, so you have earned the right to the sig line Points. I look at it like the Army's CIB blue badge. Someday it will have some creed in the hood!

What's left to do on the project? Does it run yet?

I would take it off your hands, but it would for sure result in my untimely death. :lol:

Not yet running. I'll put up some pics and details tomorrow. All the parts to finish are there. Mostly connect all those hoses and wires. Exhaust on the bottom side needs to be installed ( 3" no cat with Borla & Tial 38mm wastegate. ).

All this stuff too. If its not yet on the car, its still in the box. Think of it as a jig saw puzzle with extra pieces. Its all there.
86 '951 White with Maroon interior. LSD Transaxle with cooler.
Fuchs 16" wheels.
Some of the stuff no prices. Have to find the receipts. Actually have most since it was new from prior owner. Odd history. Original owner worked for Chrysler back in the 80's. Got transferred to Europe and took it along. Never registered when there. Sat then shipped back to the US again.

I want to throw you a bone, you did such a nice job representing your need for garage space. Unfortunately I have no space, or money, or the desire to give my wife something else to bitch, and bitch about. :)

FRom a strictly marketing view point, chances are you are not my intended target.
Regardless, thanks for the bone. That was something, right?

Dang, always wanted one and now that I can, I don't have the room.

And...it's only like 15-20 minutes from the house. You know you want it....in fact, you Deserve it! Ever want to kick some tires, come on by. 377-114-1938. ( roads, not a phone #! )

bump :lol:

Must. Not. Look.

I just sent my ‘87 951 down the road, I have no business jumping back in... but if I did, an ‘86 in white would be what I am looking for, except ixnay on the maroon interior.

GLWS!

Invite Sean over, supply beer, cigars and an after work snort of whiskey when you FINISH that thing! Seems like you're "close"...why not..??

Who did the motor rebuild?

If you still have it in the summer after we move back to NC then I might be looking for a DE/Track car at that time.

Fernando, have you driven a 9 4 4 at speed, through corners...?

A 944....has anyone?

You funny guy!

The 944 at speed. A very nice lap and time if you ask me....

No substitute for a 911 in my book....but still a respectable car for its age.

Had a 944 S2 for several years before my 996. Only did autocross with it though, didn't get into DE until I got my 996. So yeah done some spirited driving but nothing too serious.

Here was my first P-car:

Ah yes, thanks for the refresh, you did share that earlier. I find the S2 so compliant and easy to toss around.

One of my former mechanics used to have a Chevy 350 in his 944. That thing was a monster on the track!

And......it’s still out there taking up space. Really like to make that area into a mini machine shop armory.

Questions were asked. Wondering who did the motor, I ask for good reason. It sure looks like you're most of the way there. Why not finish and get some actual money for it?

AMS auto machine shop did the short block. The rest of the motor was my buddy Danny with my assist. Danny is my age and been a dealer and Indy P mechanic since a teen. We are 72 now, so done it awhile. If you were into air cooled or the CVAR series you would know him. Finish? 72 and arthritic. Just more mechanic work than I care to do.
