Looks great and love what u are doing to it. I hate the 944 battery problem, I got it to. Gonna get some pros to weld it so it looks like new. Since ur trying to improve ur speed of the car u should upgrade to manual tranny.

I have an 83 944 with an ugly brown dash. Did you buy a new one or paint an existing? Where did you buy the new carpeting?
