Default my daily 924

not much but it does the job, didn't cost much and didn't need much work just a new front pipe, service no rust on it what so ever too not bad for a 28 year old and everything works think its the lux version as has the spider web alloys, leccy windows and sunroof, leccy adjustable and heated mirrors 4 speaker sound system









grotty old front pipe



so one of these



and a few of these




and we're cracking
don't you just love it when people bodge stuff together, it was held together with 2 jubilee clips and what looked like 4 tubs of exhaust repair crap

have a few more plans which im hoping to sort out over the next couple of weeks while i'm off work

Few more pictures,

Check out the speakers



Really god fit
This is what was in the other side, at least it has the correct speaker



Here's what I replaced them with



Don't have a picture of the head unit that was in, whilst driving home after buying I turned it on and it promptly started smoking so a quick stop on the hard shoulder open the passenger side window and threw it out was only a nasty JVC tape player that looked older than me. Any way here's whats in for the time being a slightly more modern JVC CD player still not bad for £15

That is seriously tidy ! We are just converting one into a racer, well making one good out of the 2 and neither are anywhere near as tidy as yours.

looks good
they are good old cars these, 944 are still good to drive today and the 924 is the little engined version of the same chassis.


shame that ford never rust proofed their cars like Porsche did!
