Definitely, restore it! The Porsche in gold color is so nice, and the interior is just really cool. Bring it back to life. It’s like seeing a classic we don’t get to see anymore. Just like it, a travel back in time. Also, the gold color in my opinion matches the overall Porsche color wheel. 😌 love it!
Well the paint would have to go. Got some serious cancer in the back quarters which is common. Gotta figure out how to unstick the brakes and would probably require either a rebuild or new calibers at the least and might as well get new rotors (does the 944 have drums?). Cheapest solution for the ignition would be a replacement as well as door locks and hatch. Center console is shot and would have to be replaced. Wheels will need a recoat at best. The back bumper is damaged and will have to be fixed. After that, you would be best to replace everything made of rubber under the hood and chassis. At that point, you could start to address mechanical issues that are no doubt to be found. Then, you'd have to ask yourself, is it really "original"? I mean, if you are a "matching numbers" person, more power to ya. Just the term "all original" doesn't hold value to a lot of people as, over time, and especially with a restoration, it is damn near impossible to have an "original" car without stretching the word unto lost meaning. Again, if it is your bag to love on some vehicles that are as close to showroom floor new as you can get them, that's great. You do you. Different strokes and all that. But between time, money, safety, and just sheer convenience of the job and the finished product let alone future maintenance it is rarely if ever worth it in my book to strive for a purest version of originality either by the end result or by the price tag afterward. This also isn't to say it wouldn't be a crime to mod the hell out of a car like this that is seemingly restorable shape... just that striving for purity often has several levels at best and has never been my thing.
Ahhh, the resilience of Porsche. Every detail, still almost flawless. I don't care what color it is, the details were not sacrificed and that's where the beauty lies. 😅
Great vid, that 944 is worth saving for the right person. Honestly, use some very strong penetrating oil on the seat rails, soak, and wait. It will eventually break up the rust and move freely. Keep up the great work guys!
Just needs a bit of restoring, don't rip the engine out. Keep the engine number and chassis the same. I hate it when cars are rescued.... then ripped apart. It's not a brown interior... its chocolate :)
There's nothing wrong with it! Do not,..tear this car, apart! His, is an 83. This one is an 84. What he should do, is rebuild the motor, in the 83. And leave the 84 complete.
This is actually a rare Porsche that you don't see anymore on the road, unless it's owned by a car fanatic or sitting in a car museum on display or in a collector's garage. But aside from the rarity of the car itself the gold does look pretty decent for it. The most overused colours though are Blue, Red, Black, White and Grey. I personally like when cars have unique colours, like Yellow, Green, Purple, Cyan or Midnight Blue.
This appears to be a rare factory delivered car in excellent condition and worth keeping together and restoring. Notice it has power steering which is extremely rare on an 1983 944. The engine is a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder making approximately 150hp.
@@formula1fancolorado632 you are a sheep !!!! Buying the same shit that EVERYONE!!gets !!! Subaru and Kia 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 I can say this because we have a Toyota Camry. AND !!!!! a 83 Porsche 944 and the Porsche is better looking, better constructed, and is 50 times better to drive than the Toybota!!!! 😀😀😀😀🚘🚘🚘🚘 oh , in the real world your 50 hp won't do shit against our unit !!!!
This is my favorite car from Porsche. The 911 is awesome but the 944's are my favorite. I really like the gold color here and the body is in really good condition. Great video and and awesome find! Fantastic job as always guys!
Really like your videos. My favorite color for a vehicle is silver. Scratches are easy to conceal and doesn't look dirty even when it is. The car has potential. I think worth saving. If it spins, it'll run. The rust can be cut out and body work done.
The gold is unique. Although I've not seen your 944, maybe it should be a donor for this one. This has so much potential and you guys did fantastic on the detail. She's mint after 15 years of neglect.
It has no potential. These cars were only supposed to last 6 or 8 years. NO high end car company wants old entry level clunkers out on the road. It just makes the company look bad. You will have to search far and wide to find parts, dealers were encouraged by Porsche to throw away new old stock parts and no one is going to make replacements, Porsche would never allow it. The 924 was a rebodied VW Scirocco and there were any parts for them left. How do I know this? My nephew had a 924 and that is what several Porsche deals said. One parts guy my nephew's dad knew was cruelly honest. Also it had been sitting on dirt for decades, the underside should be totally roached.
Gold is a good color. My first vehicle was a two tone Gold on cream color 1984 Chevrolet K20 diesel pickup truck. Side note. Please restore this car. It deserves to live again!!!❤
You can check compression by connecting a battery and then jumping 12 volts to the starter solenoid. The starter will still turn the motor over, it just won’t start. Make sure you’re taking the compression readings with the throttle body fully open. Before cranking it with the starter, I’d pull all the spark plugs and put a capfull of oil in each cylinder and hand spin the motor a few times. That will help bring the rings around and make sure it’s not being cranked dry. Lastly you’re supposed to check compression hot. When you check it cold your numbers will all be a little low, but you’re mostly looking to see they’re all consistent… on a tired old motor that hasn’t ran in years I’d say within 20% of each other is fine. For a 944 I think you’ll want between 110-135 cold. Target would be 150 on a hot motor.
This 944 deserves to be saved,the colour was very popular in the 80s porsche's.My old 928s was the same colour it was beautiful. Great video guys amazing to this car shine again.
I like the gold on this car. To me it’s right. I’d restore this one, seems to be pretty solid. May be worth putting some used tires on it just to make it easier to move around.
Next time you might consider using soft straps in the holes on the wheels to pull it, instead of doing bumper damage as you did, two straps, hooked together center of the car to the winch hook, no damage. Harbor Freight has cheap ones, rated pretty high, and different lengths that would save you time effort, and damage.
These films are odly relaxing, watching years of dirt being professionally stripped away with appropriate chemicals and cleaners. I'd definitely keep the car intact and leave the engine alone. Sort the panel rust and lacquer, brakes, discs etc and get it back on the road. I remember these cars when new. Radically different to the iconic 911, but still great on the eye. Thanks for an interesting film.
Watching WD detailing is awesome, i like to do car detailing interiors of cars such as mine and my family's vehicles for money on my off time from work. Car detailing amazes me for a new career opportunity
The Porsche 944 has gained a dedicated following among car enthusiasts and collectors, and it is often considered a classic sports car from the 1980s. Its timeless design and driving experience continue to make it a sought-after model in the used car market. Nice to see that it was restored. 😍❤
That 944 is definitely worthy of restoration. My 928 was a basket case before I did a semi resto on mine. I can't believe how nice the interior and seats are in that 944. I don't think I've ever seen such nice stock cloth seats in the 80s porsches. They are normally totally worn or tore up. That car spent a lot of time in a garage before being abandoned.
@@EllenTheArtist Theres a lot to do before starting an engine that sat as long as this one has. Will need to go thru the whole fuel system, number 1 is to drop the gas tank and clean it out and flush all lines. Didn't pay much attention on the fuel delivery is carb or injection. If CIS, it get's expensive real quick as you really need to R&R all of it. There is no such thing as a cheap Porsche, lol.
I love the gold it looks pretty cool and blue is my favorite color i been watching your TH-cam channel for about 2 years i love how clean the cars look when you're done with them it's a lot of work and the Porsche your cleaning is pretty rare Worth some money
There’s plenty of ways to try before you cut the seats out.and as far as the compression, get a button starter and go to auto-zone and borrow a compression gauge.
I am certainly not a fan of gold cars, but keeping original paint is usually a plus. I guess, like the lichen on the car, the appreciation for the gold color is growing on me.
If it were up to me i would totally restore it to it's former glory. It's a really nice looking Porsche, plus the gold color is quite rare on these cars "at least i think" but looks great on it nonetheless
You're crazy if you want to pull the motor out of this car it's too nice get the VIN number go to the dealership and get a new key keep looking for an engine for your other car then you will have two nice ones
I always loved the 944. IMO the only colour for a 944 is black. I've seen a few examples and they look spectacular. Great clean guys. I love every one you do.
SHES A KEEPER ! I have an 84 in guards red ! they are worth 15k+ in good shape. 2.5 liter interference engine that is amazing when maintained 50/50 weight distribution and the factory paint is a single stage so u can compound n polish. any locksmith can make a key in 2 minutes for this car..KEEP N MAINTAIN THIS CAR OR SELL TO ME !!! ur other 944 w bad engine - LS SWAP ! - my 2cents..😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was blown away by how good that paint looked once the power washer came out! I really like those 944s, especially with the rotary dial wheels. And the gold doesn't look bad on all cars, it suits this one IMHO.
From what you showed us, this car looks too good to be a donor. It will be interesting to see how this progresses. And I love gold cars, although my favorites are the brighter 1970s golds.
That Porsche is cleaning up real nice ! If necessary, just throw another motor in it and you have a gem of a car ! Keep up the good work guys we’re watching ! ❤️☺️😘🥰😉
Hi,Guys thanks for the Great content.I would keep this car as is.I would keep the gold color and engine too.Love these 944s.Happy Veterans Day and Thank You.Respect the Men and Women of the armed forces!
This one would be best for restoration (and maybe the other one with the seized motor used as the parts car, lol) the body looks salvageable and repairable. The gold color would have been a much rarer option and would make it worth much more, after restoration as an original 944 ...
I've owned 2 944s and loved them. I still think they look modern, although the insides are dated; one was white (boring) the other Guards Red that looked amazing once paint corrected with a ceramic on top. Because of the aluminum body rust isn't much of an issue and using mostly Audi/VW parts means that most spares are pretty cheap. I'd love to find one like this and spend time bringing it back to life.
I don't see many of these on the road anymore, I think it should be salvaged! My favorite color of cars is silver. Great transformation after your awesome detail!!!
Would love to see what you eventually do with it. Will there be a part 2? If I could, I would salvage it. It actually looks great after the clean. I know we can't smell it and you'd need to strip it down to find out what else needs replacing but it appears to be complete. I would go for the salvage and staying with the gold.
I still can't figure out why this car ended up in the salvage yard. It looks savable. Big question for me is if the automatic transmission has failed. That might have been the reason it was taken off the road. I like the gold; it's more unique than most of the 944s you see on the road today.
Hes a smart man. If hes doing it inside he most likely has drains. If you look at the texture of floor the water seeps through the grooves and im sure im the drain is under there.
My son’s first car was a 1986 944, red. It sat in a front yard of an older woman, who was widowed. Her husband was in the middle of an engine swap when he passed away. Anyway, that car sat under a pine tree for a number of years before my son bought it from her… doing yard work, dump runs and other odds and ends for her. That red paint in that car came back to life and looked amazing with very little work, a good wash and some spray wax. He sold the car for the value of the fusch rims, and bought an f150.

I think all cars must be salvaged...!! Yep this car too ..absolutely!!
Blue is my favorite color for cars. I'd love to see this car be salvaged.
save it! Old cars are better than new ones!
That 944 I'd paint it red or blue
This car is far too good to part out. It deserves another chance at life on the road.
Restore this one! It's very nice and if the numbers match it's a better investment.
I agree! I'm halfway into the video and that was my first guess also.
It is an automatic. Unless you do a swap - it's a parts car.
@@brianjohnson6114 Oh Please!
I agree but maybe it doesn't have a title.
This car has been somebodys dream car but was left abandoned. It deserves another chance on the roads
That 944 is worthy of more than just being a parts car imo. Also, I absolutely adore the gold here!
I am a big fan of that color. ❤
You're absolutly right. Parts are easy to find for these cars and it is in great shape so it's worth restauration.

I use Kril Oil for bolts that are stuck. I just put some on my 84 CJ7 seat rails that had spray in bed liner. Took some work but they came loose.
My Volvo wagon would outrun that. 😂
That's a classic car, don't swap or change any parts , it's worth more in original condition, definitely worth restoring.
That Gold looks so awesome on that car! Please leave the 944 intact. I would love to see that on the road!

You can check compression by connecting a battery and then jumping 12 volts to the starter solenoid. The starter will still turn the motor over, it just won’t start. Make sure you’re taking the compression readings with the throttle body fully open.
Before cranking it with the starter, I’d pull all the spark plugs and put a capfull of oil in each cylinder and hand spin the motor a few times. That will help bring the rings around and make sure it’s not being cranked dry.
Lastly you’re supposed to check compression hot. When you check it cold your numbers will all be a little low, but you’re mostly looking to see they’re all consistent… on a tired old motor that hasn’t ran in years I’d say within 20% of each other is fine.

I suggest the same thing.
I wanted to write the same thing. And pull the DME relay of your 944. If the DME of this car is broken it wont start, you can use your DME.
An old, cold DRY engine - maybe more than a capful. Wet compression ?
im glad yall added some chill music so i can relax while watching a detail going on

I don't see many of these on the road anymore, I think it should be salvaged! My favorite color of cars is silver. Great transformation after your awesome detail!!!
Tools of the trade is what got me to vote in favor of this video. Great work RJ!
This car is beautiful! I'd use the one with the stuck motor as a parts car, or sell it and keep this one!
Fix this one!! Keep it! Drive it! :)
Stunned at how good the paint looks!!
Would love to see what you eventually do with it. Will there be a part 2? If I could, I would salvage it. It actually looks great after the clean. I know we can't smell it and you'd need to strip it down to find out what else needs replacing but it appears to be complete. I would go for the salvage and staying with the gold.
And we’re not only watching the cars ! 😉😘❤️
I still can't figure out why this car ended up in the salvage yard. It looks savable. Big question for me is if the automatic transmission has failed. That might have been the reason it was taken off the road.
I like the gold; it's more unique than most of the 944s you see on the road today.
I absolutely love this colour. I wish more cars had a larger variety of colours and weren't just black, gray and white.
I would have called a locksmith to make a new key.
Thank you for saving her!! ❤
That car has potential. If your mechanic is any good why not try to get that one running. Interior looked in decent shape.
Gold is a classic color for this car. It's just what a 944 is from the 80's. So, cool seeing it revieled just after wash.
do you ever plan of driving them
I like the gold,,my favorite color is Silver
I am 14 but i know everybody like the gold look to it but i think it will look good in white my opinion doas not matter lol.
i knew that you were serious when I saw you pull back the gear shift lever and clean that area inside the track.
Every like this comment gets I’ll do nothing 🤓
did it start???? woow what a find!
I don't see drains in their shop. Where is dirty water going? Why don't you do it outside?
Hes a smart man. If hes doing it inside he most likely has drains. If you look at the texture of floor the water seeps through the grooves and im sure im the drain is under there.
Ya I asked that a year ago. WTF???
The tile pattern on the ground bud is
My son’s first car was a 1986 944, red. It sat in a front yard of an older woman, who was widowed. Her husband was in the middle of an engine swap when he passed away. Anyway, that car sat under a pine tree for a number of years before my son bought it from her… doing yard work, dump runs and other odds and ends for her. That red paint in that car came back to life and looked amazing with very little work, a good wash and some spray wax. He sold the car for the value of the fusch rims, and bought an f150.
Beatiful car, beatiful colour! After so many years, paint is, still, great!
I'm not a fan of gold, but that car is Beautiful!!!
SOOOOO satisfying. I have this exact 944. Think I'll go out and wash it.
