i had a 1984 944 non-turbo, i dont know a whole hell of a lot about them, but i know my fair share. if u need a hand working on it, feel free to let me know. id love to work on one again!
also, u really should get ahold of MPD47, hes the 951 and 944 GOD. my friend tim (TRP951) also knows a lot about them. awsome deal on the car though, you will love it!
