Subject:Re: Porsche 944 motor & transaxle for conversion

Yes the 944 has a 2.5 L 4 cylinder DOHC up front with a transaxle at the
back.
The interior is in fair condition - the problems are with peeling carpet,
steering wheel leather  unwrapping, sun visors and clips, passenger window
lift, horn switch and no radio.
The drivers side rear took a 5 mph hit and run whack, but the side marker
light was not broken though the tail light did loose some reflector.

Basically, this was my wifes car, and I hate the technologically overendowed
POS. She is now driving a Volvo 765 TD, simplicity itself, except for the
electric doo-dads which will not keep the diesel from rattling on. The car
could be a daily driver if someone so wanted - after checking the radiator
and head gasket. I have been driving it for the last few weeks w/o problem.
