Hello everybody! When I was 15 I bought my first 300, it was a black 93 na ttop, I had fallen in love after seeing it in my mothers boyfriends junkyard. I saved and saved and finally was able to save 1500 and buy it from him but it needed to much money to get running so I had to give it back:( but vowed I'd have one soon. After 3 years and having bought a truck and sold to buy an 86 944. I began to crave the comfort and brillance I had felt in the 300 so I put my 944 on CL and 45 mins this lil baby fell in my lap:)

It looks nice in the pic but it had a bad rattle can paint job and a wrinkled drivers door that needed replacing. It is a 94 na slick top. The guy who had it before was a well known mechanic in the area and the engine was well maintained and was well perfect. I decided to trade with him.
I didn't have much money with how much the insurance tagged me down for lol (180 a month for minimum!) but my grandfather recently passed on and left me some money to fix it:)

I bought and installed this door and a passenger glass first after some bastard walked by an shattered it-_- bought some rota grid 17x9 bronze wheels and sent it to my buddies for paint! Total was 1660 for paint body and a set of michelins.
Just got her bak today!

Oh, wow. Very nice. Well done. Get some low on that thing! 4X4 status! Good choice of wheels, just need to get rid of the wheel gap. Do you have any suspension plans in mind? By FAR my favorite mod I've done on mine so far.

Last, but not least, WELCOME TO NICO!

Sweet1 nice buy, i always liked the slicktops. dont skimp on suspension parts, megan parts are crap, tien or some lowering springs will do. belive me you will end up buying twice as many parts if you go cheap. if its only temp go for it, but you will need to replace them quick, at least i did....

Cool! Welcome.
Good trade IMO, I've seen 3 944's on the side of the freeway loaded on a tow truck this past month alone. Possibly cooling issues in this 100 degree weather.
