Subject:Porsche 944 motor & transaxle for conversion
From:Joe Ernest
Date:Tue, 22 Feb 2000 01:01:57 EST

I have a 1985 Porsche 944 on which I just spent over $1000 on new and
upgraded water pump, belts, hoses, tensioners, seals etc, etc.
It looked like the thermostat was installed incorrectly as it wanted to
overheat, but quit doing so as soon as I removed the thermostat. The car runs
great but may need a radiator and/or a head gasket.  In over 100 miles I have
seen no overheating or water in the oil
I do not want this car any longer, but I would like someone to benefit from
the $1K I just spent on it, especially if its engine ends up in a Vanagon.
So make me an offer, tell me your plans for the car and let's make a deal.
I'm in Fremont, CA, and I think Loren has First dibs.
I figure the car is worth about $1200 as a tax deduction, so that's the day
dream target. Add the vanagon community discount , contributions to vanagon
science and any other discounts you can convince me to accept, and come up
with a number.
