picking up a 1983 Porsche 944 project. will it start?

what's up UA-cam. in this video I drove almost 10 hours round trip to pick a non running 944, I traded a good condition 1997 Toyota Celica for it. did I make a good choice? or did I get the short end of the stick, watch to find out

Looks like a fun project! 👍 The differences between the early and late are often surprising, sometimes even from one year to the next, but are a great testament to Porsche’s design philosophy in constantly iterating and improving.

My clock and AC works in my 83 believe it or not haha. I converted it to R134a moons ago. Good job on mentioning the belts.

Fuel lines and check the drivers side rear drain for clogs.

Those spark plug wires make me dizzy lol! Let me know if you need fuel lines at all. Have fun!

Lmao they are something. And I for sure will. This car needs a lot of love but it should be a good project
