Well the paint would have to go. Got some serious cancer in the back quarters which is common. Gotta figure out how to unstick the brakes and would probably require either a rebuild or new calibers at the least and might as well get new rotors (does the 944 have drums?). Cheapest solution for the ignition would be a replacement as well as door locks and hatch. Center console is shot and would have to be replaced. Wheels will need a recoat at best. The back bumper is damaged and will have to be fixed. After that, you would be best to replace everything made of rubber under the hood and chassis. At that point, you could start to address mechanical issues that are no doubt to be found. Then, you'd have to ask yourself, is it really "original"? I mean, if you are a "matching numbers" person, more power to ya. Just the term "all original" doesn't hold value to a lot of people as, over time, and especially with a restoration, it is damn near impossible to have an "original" car without stretching the word unto lost meaning. Again, if it is your bag to love on some vehicles that are as close to showroom floor new as you can get them, that's great. You do you. Different strokes and all that. But between time, money, safety, and just sheer convenience of the job and the finished product let alone future maintenance it is rarely if ever worth it in my book to strive for a purest version of originality either by the end result or by the price tag afterward. This also isn't to say it wouldn't be a crime to mod the hell out of a car like this that is seemingly restorable shape... just that striving for purity often has several levels at best and has never been my thing.

You can check compression by connecting a battery and then jumping 12 volts to the starter solenoid. The starter will still turn the motor over, it just won’t start. Make sure you’re taking the compression readings with the throttle body fully open. Before cranking it with the starter, I’d pull all the spark plugs and put a capfull of oil in each cylinder and hand spin the motor a few times. That will help bring the rings around and make sure it’s not being cranked dry. Lastly you’re supposed to check compression hot. When you check it cold your numbers will all be a little low, but you’re mostly looking to see they’re all consistent… on a tired old motor that hasn’t ran in years I’d say within 20% of each other is fine. For a 944 I think you’ll want between 110-135 cold. Target would be 150 on a hot motor.

Next time you might consider using soft straps in the holes on the wheels to pull it, instead of doing bumper damage as you did, two straps, hooked together center of the car to the winch hook, no damage. Harbor Freight has cheap ones, rated pretty high, and different lengths that would save you time effort, and damage.

This is actually a rare Porsche that you don't see anymore on the road, unless it's owned by a car fanatic or sitting in a car museum on display or in a collector's garage. But aside from the rarity of the car itself the gold does look pretty decent for it. The most overused colours though are Blue, Red, Black, White and Grey. I personally like when cars have unique colours, like Yellow, Green, Purple, Cyan or Midnight Blue.

I've owned 2 944s and loved them. I still think they look modern, although the insides are dated; one was white (boring) the other Guards Red that looked amazing once paint corrected with a ceramic on top. Because of the aluminum body rust isn't much of an issue and using mostly Audi/VW parts means that most spares are pretty cheap. I'd love to find one like this and spend time bringing it back to life.

That's a classic car, don't swap or change any parts , it's worth more in original condition, definitely worth restoring.

A friend of mine bought one just like it about 10 year's ago, but was white, V-8 Porsche, was amazed at much of the design, and engineering that went into this work of art, fyi as of 1983, this was the fastest production car, and the darn thing had tubes in the electronics for goodness sake, hope ot all works out for you, a true gem

I'd love to know the back story about this 944 since these were fairly pricey cars when they were new. Personally, I would try and get it running because few cars say 80s style as successfully as a 944 Porsche. This car, and its gold color, screams big hair, glitter, and Calvin Klein Obession colonge!

Would love to see what you eventually do with it. Will there be a part 2? If I could, I would salvage it. It actually looks great after the clean. I know we can't smell it and you'd need to strip it down to find out what else needs replacing but it appears to be complete. I would go for the salvage and staying with the gold.

Had one of these back in the day. 1987 Porsche 944 manual in ruby red metallic. Very fine handling, underpowered but an overall beautiful spirited driving machine.

Gold is a classic color for this car. It's just what a 944 is from the 80's. So, cool seeing it revieled just after wash.

I would keep that gold car cause it’s actually pretty clean and you could sell it and buy a crate motor for your Porsche and still have money left over

That car has potential. If your mechanic is any good why not try to get that one running. Interior looked in decent shape.

I’m surprised it ended up in the junk yard. It’s body condition appears to be amazingly rust-free for a car of that age from northeast Ohio. Although that gold exterior isn’t my first choice for that car, it isn’t bad. It’s biggest deficiency is the automatic transmission. It should definitely be saved.
