Hello folks,

I'm Michiel, based in The Netherlands, and own my 944 mkII (1985) since almost 10 years.
Would love to acquire and share knowledge on this forum!

Hello,

While I am new to Carpokes, I have been with the 911 world since 1999. I had a 1969 911T until 2017. It had been converted to a 930 clone some time in the early 80’s. I bought it in a series of boxes, built it into somewhat of an IROC clone and enjoyed driving it for 15 years.

After I sold it I wanted something a bit more refined. I picked up a 2000 996 C2 in 2019. It has the M030 sport suspension and factory sport exhaust. I found my preferred color, Ocean Blue Metallic with Grey interior. This was a color combination I have always loved.

The car is strictly for road use, as I am not much of a track junkie, however I will say my road use falls into the ‘spirited’ driving category.

I enjoy doing all the maintenance on the car myself. I find some solace in working on the car.

Glad to be part of the forum, learning and contributing where I can.

New to Porsches here, but not to cars/motorcycles.
Other handles on other boards Photog, dirtyhands, and probably more that I can't remember. I work on old chevys (cuz you have to often), and drive mostly Toyotas - Got an FJ and a Prius GenII. Done plenty of track days - but only on motorcycles.

So I'm buying this 944 with a bad head gasket - not a screaming deal, but good enough for these parts (not many fun cars up here in the mountains). Anyways, Its real nice interior with sport seats, the sports handling package and in Guards Red on black.

My decision to make - do I just slip an new head gasket in, or pull the motor now and do a light rebuild/re-gasket?
Supposedly this 944 ran/runs but I have not seen it run. Supposedly everything works - headlights, sunroof, A/C, even the odometer.

Looking forward to towing this one home in a couple days, and getting to work getting it running.
