You guys NEEED to Rat Rod this Porche! Metal custom wide body, air bagged suspension, a nice power plant engine, people can pay a lot for a sick rare rat rod style car!! 👌💪☝️☝️
I feel like every single one of these that can be saved should be saved. Gutting it would be heresy in my eyes. I would even keep the rare seats in it and restore it back to original spec.
I had an 83 and absolutely loved it. I bought it from a friend of mine, who is a mechanic. It was his wife's daily driver. I miss it. So much fun. My brother was driving it when the timing belt went. Never got a chance to fix it, when my friend who sold it to me's son came to me looking to buy it off of me. I had just gotten a Harley I was working on and was spending more time and money on that, so I said yes. Wish I hadn't! Fix it up!
Restore it, don’t gut it. A note about the paint. I enjoy detailing cars as a hobby. You might be able to save the paint. It would be hard work but a two, or maybe even three stage wet sand followed by a polish might bring it back.
Seeing those stone chips and that fuzzy green/brown paint, I don't think any amount of detailing could make that look as good as this car deserves to look.
Oh yeah! When you don’t have money, but want to show off to your friends and say that you bought a Porsche, this option comes to mind. Thank you for the video!
You can always break a trip counter if you play with it too much. If u use it normally, you can reset it while driving, no prob (I did it myself 1001 times) Anyways, it has no impact on the main counter. The thing with that is it goes around at 100.000, and u can never tell how many times it happened.
This is the first video I've ever seen from this channel, and you already have my subscription. I just recently bought a Porsche 944 and am having fun learning how to work on it. Mine is also a 1983 and it is really cool to learn some of the unique features that mine has. This is my first real project car and I completely agree with the steep learning curve, but many others have had this car as their first project car and learned on it, so I believe that I can too. I can't wait to see where you guys go with this, and I'll also check my seats and see if I'm able to get the seats that your getting as well, (my seats, whichever one they are, are in nearly mint condition.) Also, I would like to see a daily derivable build, since that's what I'm going to make mine into for when I go to college in the fall.
A slightly left field idea... Wrap it in a cognac colour. Somewhere about RGB 163, 72, 27. It will be unique, and help hide some of the other flaws. With the exhaust, install a Flowmaster.
Don't refurb, don't track it, just fix all the mechanical issues, tune it and get a new shocks and brakes upgrade and you have a beautiful rat rod. It already looks perfect.
Aaahhhhh you guys have GOT TO restore this classic beast! It will be a beautiful car with low miles and, hell, its a freaking PORSCHE! Lol.... Edit: And, please please please NO STRAIGHT PIPES!!
Definitely restore ! My 87 Guards red 944 N/A is fully restored original paint (100 hours of my sweat) and another 150 hours of mechanical and interior work
Don’t track it!! Will look so much better restored. Paint it, make it Porsche platinum (like a Champaign gold color), looks good with the brown interior.
I''m with Christian on this one. Bring her back to her former glory
And make it brown again it's will look good with the brown interior
ye
i agree
same
Yee
Oh Christian is 1million percent right your crazy RESTORE IT!
yes
Yes exactly
Yes
Dang! Everyone wants to restored😧
Restore it!
Definitely restore it, it’s a piece of history
Shit*
I definitely think restoring is the way to go Bec you can make 15 -20k for putting 3k into them
Ik these guys won’t but I would definitely keep the seats with the car and restore it too
I think they should paint it back to black too
Gut it
Man i’d just repaint to the original factory color. Restore her. She’s a time capsule. Keep her as close to stock as possible.
Yea man
Mind is all completely stock and still running strong!
Agreed
Agreed!
Refurbish it and don’t sell the seats she’s a lovely driving machine
Refurbish, cherish and enjoy this well balanced driving machine.
You guys NEEED to Rat Rod this Porche! Metal custom wide body, air bagged suspension, a nice power plant engine, people can pay a lot for a sick rare rat rod style car!! 👌💪☝️☝️
Wow, everyone wants it fixed up!!🤔
JR Garage no straight pipes or other mods please
Sorry I’m definitely with Christian on this one. Bring her back to her prime and enjoy it. She deserves it!
ye me2
Restore it sell it.
Got to give it to Christian, definitely refurbish all the way
Restore it. However when he mentioned pasty dip i feel like a adult talking to a 16 year old with a civic.
Refurbish
Restore
Pass it to the Next generation
You should listen to your brother this time and fix it up for a cruiser
Refurbish! I’d like to see another clean old Porsche back on the road
yes please
Shut up Butthead! Hehehehehehe
100% agree! It needs to be back on the road!
I feel like every single one of these that can be saved should be saved. Gutting it would be heresy in my eyes. I would even keep the rare seats in it and restore it back to original spec.
Heresy?? Man now I feel bad if we gut it!
@@JRGarage YEAHG
yass
This car needs love so refurbish it specially because of low mileage, I was about to type low Kms lol 😂 we use kilometers in Australia
"This is a car you can build on a budget"
*Me sitting with my 944 turbo that still looks like shit 10k$ in* (in norway)
I’d say refurbish it
frl
No refurbish it bro it’s a beautiful classis
Restore and repaint, keep it to it's original build sheet, do not sell the seats, 30yr+ old car give it the respect it deserves for its longevity
Restore and repaint it to the original colour to make it seems brand new, it's gonna be a perfect and interesting project to see.. goodluck guys!
Fix it and DONT SELL THE SEATS, there perfect!
straight piping every car is a little played. Restore don't gut
Restore it. Its a beautiful car and is built to enjoy and daily.
I'm with Chris on this one, restore the car please!!
I’m stoked to see this video! I also have a 1983 manual 944 black that I’m working on. I can’t wait to see what you guys will do.
your guys' videos were a large factor in me not going insane during this new york quarantine. thank you boys!
Christian is right on this one. It would look nice and original with black paint.
I would keep it all stock (even the seats) and fix it, its history and it will be worth a ton of money!!
Refurb! You’d be crazy to turn this timeless machine into a track tool!
I love the brown interior (the seats, dash, etc.). Gorgeous. I would refurbish it.
Same color interior as mine which is not that common. Rog
Yeah, it’s such a great car for a restoration project. I would keep the seats!!
Refurbish. Why sell all those desirable items when you can restore it and have it be an amazing example of a first production year Porsche.
Restore it and paint to bllack on red or what ever u want
OEM color brown to match the interior
@@souheilk8332 yeap but color brown is to shityy for my option
The answer is always RESTORE!!!
This is my dream car. I’ve wanted 944 since 1990 when I first remember seeing them then I saw a turbo a few years later and fell in deeper love

Restore it!!! We need more vehicle recyclers. Content may inspire
Fix that car up. Don’t strip it all apart. I’m with Christian on that one.
Restore it, don’t gut it. A note about the paint. I enjoy detailing cars as a hobby. You might be able to save the paint. It would be hard work but a two, or maybe even three stage wet sand followed by a polish might bring it back.
You can’t beat the price. Even if it doesn’t start. That’s a massive steal.
Christian's absolutely right! Restore it please!!
NO race car ! LISTEN Christian make it clean ! Midnight Purple will be so so so sexy on this car....
When you're so early, the comment section is filled up with idiots thinking they're first.
Edit: restore the car. Dont make it a racecar
RESTORE to original spec, including paint. Keep in BROWN.
Fully agreed
YES
Brown!? It’s no the 80s anymore tho
@@JRGarage whatt? it would be so unique brown man RESTORE
I agree with Christian you should restore it. It’s going to be a fun project to watch
You should try out the $500 MAACO special and see if it is actually a good paint
I restore it personally, but I’m not a huge fan of that kind of racing.
I love porsche's!!!! This will be an an amazing rebuild
same! Porsche Just looks sooo good!
@@FriendsWThoughts
I know right!
Restore this beautiful car!
where do you find these awesome deals....... i want it hahahahh
Definitely restore. The body is in too good of condition to tear it up.
Make a detailing tutorial !! That would be dope to learn how to bring life back into a car
Seeing those stone chips and that fuzzy green/brown paint, I don't think any amount of detailing could make that look as good as this car deserves to look.
Oh yeah! When you don’t have money, but want to show off to your friends and say that you bought a Porsche, this option comes to mind. Thank you for the video!
Exactly 😂
I know that. Considering you can buy a cool 986 Boxster for 10K right now. Tempting indeed!
Definitely restore it! It can still be a fun car on the track, just be careful.
Restore it to as close as original, its a piece of great automotive history!!
It would look so cool with lime green plastic dip
RESTORE THIS BEAUTY!!!
I love this car. rebuild it and straight pipe🔥🔥🔥
Fix it up and give away! Make someone’s day
@@frederickrobinson9502 no shut it
I love when people refurbished and use old cars as daily drivers, looks like a glimpse into the past
If you are really a car lover, you should restore it to the original as possible, even with the brown color!
It would be cool if you would do a full detailing to make it look great again. A deep British Racing Green paint would look amazing😍
You guys should change your channel's name from jr garage to straight pipe garage 😂🖤🖤
JR go: buys a 500$ Porsche 944
JR garage: HOLD MY BEER
What happened to the audi
Just restore it dont make it a race car thats a shame
I like how JrGo and JrGarage both own an 80s Porsche. Makes it more confusing lmao

Restore the poor Porsche, it doesn’t deserve to be sold as parts. Please!
Too many of these have died. Restore this one.
Everytime I see one it makes me realize i want one

Bright blue with black wheels, black interior with blue stitching
Miami Blue and brown interior !!!
bro if it has the flip headlights ur the king on the road
Lmao the best part is that they’ve already had 2 of these😂💯
3*
JR Garage Omg yeah, I’d forgotten about Ellis jeez
@@carbonfiberinsta lol
JR Garage When the videos of other builds are coming?
I agree with Christian. You should definitely restore it.
I think it should be restored. The 944 is the easiest and most fun Porsche to drive. I drove one back in 1987. It was the best thing.
Refurb it, then make it a daily driver, please❤️🍿
I really like porsches!
Love this car, you should rebuild it. I think the car would look good if its a glittery dark blue.
Restore the beauty!! Man those seats are lush, try keeping them and that interior is a great colour.
A slightly left field idea... Wrap it in a cognac colour. Somewhere about RGB 163, 72, 27. It will be unique, and help hide some of the other flaws.

Restore her. She's beautiful!
Restore it! It’s an amazing car
definitely restore it, I'd say that you then keep it for a long time, then you'll be rich in the future
Don't refurb, don't track it, just fix all the mechanical issues, tune it and get a new shocks and brakes upgrade and you have a beautiful rat rod. It already looks perfect.
Thankfully no one swapped a boring LS in that car. That's done to much.
This is so funny since I want a Porsche 944 as a project car lol.
Refurbish & paint pleaseee!
"Limp mode" you can tell they dont get old cars
Definitely keep this car in it's full glory - restore those seats too and keep it at that $1,300 investment!
Guys please restore that beauty and make it new again.
where do you keep finding these things, and how can I get my hands on one 😂 low key serious..
Restore it.
Refurbish her! Such a amazing daily driver ❤️
You guys have plenty of beauty queens. Strip it, sell the pricey parts, and have yourselves a really awesome track car.
Please keep the seats and restore this beautiful car!!
Aaahhhhh you guys have GOT TO restore this classic beast! It will be a beautiful car with low miles and, hell, its a freaking PORSCHE! Lol....
Edit:
And, please please please NO STRAIGHT PIPES!!
Restore it
Like if Jr Garage should upload more often
Definitely restore ! My 87 Guards red 944 N/A is fully restored original paint (100 hours of my sweat) and another 150 hours of mechanical and interior work
Don’t track it!! Will look so much better restored. Paint it, make it Porsche platinum (like a Champaign gold color), looks good with the brown interior.
