When projects go bad by qbrozen

I guess when you've buried yourself beyond all reason ...
donate it to charity!
 
FYI. I first went to check it out at maybe 3:00. It was $250. Now at 4:30, its over $4k.
 
Amazing that the seller could spend all of that money and do nothing more to the engine than change the oil.

Hey, it's an RX-7 with 285 thousand miles in it. It must be on it's third or fourth engine by now. So maybe an oil change was all it needed.

RE: Porsche 944
 
Looks good for the money. The price is fair, perhaps a tad under value but close enough given the interior issues.
 
The cold air intake and "chip" are probably Mickey Mouse stuff ("Hi. I own a garage in Cleveland and I know a LOT more than the Porsche engineers").
 
But the dreaded water pump and timing belt have been done (one hopes there is a repair order to prove this), so barring the chip going crazy and the cold air intake sucking in a piston-full of water someday, what's not to like?

I'm not a front-engined porsche fan, it seems. The 924, 944, 928, 968 ... they're all just so darned ugly.

There must be alot of dog lovers bidding up the Mazda, it's already at $4500. I sold the exact car with 85k miles in 1990 for $5k. I have seen ones with half those miles go for $3-$4K on ebay, yes that is one of my weekly searches (Rx-7 GSL-SE).If you want a really nice one check this one out.

She did alot of work to it, hopefully the $10k bill is not what did her in.
 
The Porsche 944 seems like a good deal. The work it needs is is you could live with until you find the cash to fix like a/c and the sunroof.

Update on my friend's '62 Galaxie... by andre1969

I just checked my friend's eBay listing, and see the car has been bid up to $2550. I know he's probably breathing a bit more easily now. He was getting a bit worried when it seemed the bidding was stalling out around $1000-1100.
 
It'll be interesting to see how high it goes.

Them is fighting words. Ok, so the 924 is a little homely. And maybe the 968 was one update too many for a good design. And the 928 was a piece of art work, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder there.
 
But...the 944 is just plain darn good looking. It doesn't have a line wrong anywhere. No, it isn't a 911, but nothing is a 911.

I'm with you on the 944. The 924 did nothing for me, but somehow those fender flares completely transformed the look. It still catches my attention every time I see one.

I saw this and had to share - I figured this group would appreciate the sheer insanity.

OK, it's a completed project. But can you imagine the amount of time, money, and probably alcohol it must have taken? And now someone has the fastest '82 QP on the planet. Awesome.
