Winter SORN 2022So, take off the rose tinted specs, get underneath, and lets see what I have actually bought...Actually, step one is apply for Classic Register Membership at Porsche Centre Cambridge.Many benefits come with this scheme, many of those will pass me by, but one caught my eye - 15% off parts.You get a nice welcome pack......and a charming aluminium membership card with your VIN on the reverse. The Fuchs cut out spokes are a nice touch...All this was complimentary. Times certainly have changed, because when I last owned my 944, you were definitely a poor relation when you rocked up

Winter/Spring 2023 : BodyOn the whole, she's really good and very solid for what is an M-reg car. Some of my other M-reg cars over the years have been swept up into a dustpan, sills n'all. So, on that note, i'm very grateful! Everything needing a general tidy really...No way to do that thoroughly without taking the side skirts off sadly. Got to bite that bullet... The first step is just getting parts. I really struggle to find all the parts I need in yellow zinc. It's so representative of the era. It was common place at the time. Too expensive nowadays, plus I think it has questionable environmental credentials.Even new bolts from Porsche don't have the original yellow zinc as they would have when new. Most parts are bright zinc plated (BZP) or this new water based, chromium-free coating called GEOMET...Pictured above are the original 968 rear shock absorber bolts in zellow zinc, and their brand new OPC equivalent of today. Annoyingly, this means buying everything in BZP or GEOMET (as per above) and then taking brand new parts to be stripped & re-plated in period fitting yellow zinc... An expensive and time consuming process, but essential for trying to acheive that factory look. It just looks so "right".Side SkirtsHere we go then...Again, bracketry in a bad shape...All looking very shabby...Yet more drilled mudflap holes... Real heart-in-the-mouth stuff popping off the shark fin skirts...Some fixings still needed to be cut off. The stud clips break their captivity and even with plastic nuts they just turn and turn...Anyway, all removed and no horror stories, spot welds all good and no major tin-worm. Having a clean-up behind the skirts with soapy water...Unfortunately for the skirt rear mounting rods, a steel bolt passes through alloy suspension, and we all know how that goes...New skirt mounting rods still available from Porsche...Other sideskirt bracketry fabricated from scratch as required...All zinc powder coated...I promised myself that with the purchase pric
