Thanks Stefan. I knew you would know.

The scrap yard near me is about to pull out a 1983 944. I would like to salvage any parts that would work for my 1979 924. Will the a/c compressor match? I would also like to get the wheels brakes a ...

Good to know on the rear panels. Thx.

Been restoring this car for about a year now. New rack and pinion, bushings, engine seals, a little of everything. Now, the hinge pillar on the driver side door is so bad, my door is literally tearing ...

Thanks Stefan!!
