Hello Carpoke!

Have recently begun a restoration of my son's Porsche 944 NA - currently replacing the old water pump - great to have discovered such a gold mine of information on this site - greetings to all from the UK! :clap:

Hi Mark, as Blueline said Welcome to CARPOKES. Thanks for joining!
Below is a post from another father/son restoration project with a great outcome.

There is a great depth of knowledge and support here in the land of CARPOKES..
If you are new to the world of 944's, below is a link to Clarks Garage that is a wellspring of information and how to address common issues.

I'd also suggest investigating the other transaxle grouping posts as there is a lot of cross over posting and information available.
The key is to just have fun.

Welcome to Carpokes. These are great cars and get under your skin. Good luck with the project. Water pump isn’t a horrible job. If you need any help let us all know.

Yes, great cars - I was fortunate enough to own one when they were new back in the day - curious how my son should choose to buy one unprompted by his father!

That’s super cool, I would have loved to have had the opportunity to buy one new. I bet it was a fantastic experience.

The amount of knowledge people are prepared to share about these cars shows how much they are still liked by the car community.
Good luck with the build MarkP
