Upwards and onwards to the next project , this has been a good project to watch. The back window reminds me of the Jenson Interceptor and the Reliant Scimitar .
Cars are meant to be driven. No need for full restoration just solve the safety and mechanical problems and use it or sell it or even junk it...
Hello again. I have previously commented in the thread where I wrote, among other things, that 924 was galvanized from 1982 and is therefore reasonably resistant to rust. Regarding the problem of a hot engine being difficult to start, this, as you point out, is a known problem. However, the 924 Turbo (931) does not have this problem) and of course neither does the 924S which has a 944 engine and I know there were solutions to the problem on the 924 as well. I had the pleasure of having a 1977 924 in the period 1985-1988 before I bought a 1985 944 in 1988. My 924 had the starting problem when the engine was hot, but it rarely showed up. I really enjoyed my 924 even if the chassis, as you point out, deserved a stronger engine (this was resolved with the 924 Turbo and 924S). The 924 has a fabulous balance while being light (early versions weigh under 1100 Kg) and the car is quite simply a fine sports car. It's a pitty that the 924 has never really been recognized for this. Snobbery with various Porsche models sometimes makes no sense. The simplest models are often the best (eg Cayman vs 911 and Macan vs Cayenne).
Hi Hvitserk! You have made many very good comments on this projects... Very appreciated.. :)
Mk1 106 rallye is a brilliant little car, hope you find one. For me, the best hot hatch of that era was the V6 clio but you won't get one of those cheap.
Enjoyed the journey with this Porsche.
I note some nasty cracks in the curved rubber F.I. connector hoses at the front of the engine. Failure there could result in a fiery finish. Just a mention. I hope you make a good deal and find something interesting.
don't worry (to much)... its just the isolation material :) the line underneath is fine.
On to the next one! Shout out to Helnæs.
Hold on to it for a bit, let the prices go up a little. If you can. =) Thanks for the channel.
My dad had the same rear window delamination problem with his 944 about 30 years ago. Somehow….a stray golf club broke the rear window😮 and insurance paid for a replacement. Oops!
Haha! stupid flying golf clubs... :P
Yes nice car .I've never fancied one myself but like you I am very fickle and change my cars every few weeks or months .I like them all but not as much as the next one😁
Exactly!
Makes me wonder what could be next, one from the storage, or something completely different... :P
Hot starting problem might be the fuel accumulator.
It was fun while it lasted! Hope you get something amazing to replace it.
You know so much about all the cars you own/repair - how much time do you spend a day to reaearch about the cars? And where do you go for information? Thanks for all the videos!
Just a nerd being nerdy.... Google aaaalll night long when I discover a new car affection... :P
Time to get to work on the Saab! 😊
:D
Crossing my fingers that your getting a Corolla gti or a Kadett gsi 16v 😍
Uuuuuhhh YES to corolla thank you!
we knew it will be the first car to go :P
Its the circle of cars.. :P
I think if you liked that, you need something like a Reliant Scimitar with the UK's "muscle engine" the Essex 3.0 V6 which earned the Scimi's the nickname "poor mans Jensen", avoid any with a Rover V8 put in the hole as they are very oversteery due to the increased weight mass up front but any Essex or Cologne V6 motor in there like a Cossie 2.9 injection 32v would be phenomenal. I read a chap had taken the engine and box, electronics from a Ford Scorpio (new shape) Ultima which was just about the best Cosworth engine coupled with a very intelligent smart gearbox and put it in his Scimitar and is now possibly the fastest Reliant Scimitar around the world with sub 10s 0-60 and easily a ton and half or more top end. If you wanted even more powah, the South American's had a 4 litre Cologne V6 which with some engineering and surgery could be modified to take the 32v Cossie heads although bearings main and big end would need beefing up...
See this is what I don't get with the Yanks, Ford UK and Germany put together a modified XR4i for America known there as the XR4Ti, had full RS bodykit including whale tail, Recaro RS interior as used on the Cosworths, big fat alloys, an injection Cologne 2.8 V6 and an uprated Type 9 5 speed gearbox plus electric windows, tiltable steering wheel, variable rate PAS, ABS, limited slip diff a 150mph easy out the box beast... America says nyet to it like the said nyet to the MK3 Granada, even the 32v 2.9 injection monster motor with the full RS kit, Connolly leather interior, PAS, ABS on all disc rotors fore and aft, easily 150mph and get there really quickly and certainly leave any cop cars in the dust... Yet they wet their knickers over a Fox body which for all intents and purposes was a Ford UK MK3 Escort body and trappings... madness :( One of my mates who owns an M BMW was saying about how good it was and I said give me a grand I will find something that would destroy that, so he asks and I said BMW 750iL with the full under the bonnet Alpina modifications... 196mph by the book my mate was not happy with that having paid a LOT of money for his M class Beemer...
The rover v8 weighs a lot less than the boat anchor v6 fords.
@@dodgydruidThe xr4ti did not have a v6 engine, you maybe should do some research before posting ,as both comments are rather inaccurate.32v heads is another piece of nonsense.
Nice
Well, dont you sell all cars after a few months?
well.... yea... unless its my Abarth... :P
Seppo I am the same with my wives, I like them every time 😁, but I want to try soooo many different ones, Ofc most recent one is the best so far , she’s No 6 and think I am kinda happy with her 😂 , but still open to try a No7 😁👌🏻
Det er da meget godt.... men hvad koster den?
Uforståelige 67.000kr
Den står til 68 lige nu.
68.. men hvorfor uforståeligt? er det dyrt? det lader til at det er det de står til for tiden... Det er altid svært at prissætte syntes jeg. Men jeg kan da afsløre at min timeløn ved salg er absurd dårlig! haha
So contradictory. You will regret selling it. Perhaps you should have concentrated the mind and fixed a few of the other half finished projects and sold them instead.
Yeah.. You obviously know what’s best for the man. Such a shame he seems to insist on doing what he feels is right, instead of listening to you.
