I need seats for an 84 944 I'm putting together to sell. Bonus points if the seats are tan or brown

911 seats should fit. Look on Pelican and don't pay more than $200. There are always seats on there and nobody can ever sell them because they cost a fortune to ship.

And shipping have them price greyhound (yes the bus company). A bumper skin from san diego to portland was under 50 bucks

Greyhound lost some very expensive NOS Porsche parts for about two weeks on me. The stress was not worth the savings. Never again.

Get on the 944 Spec board. Those guys strip out their cars and pretty much throw all that stuff away...

My new favorite way to say this is " If only there was a way to look that up".

I need a driver's side door handle for an 87...they seem crazy expensive on ebay.

I'm parting one out, but the seats are kind of rough. Especially the driver's seat.

Do you need the whole handle or do you have a broken trigger?

I think it's just the trigger. After posting I searched a little more and found this, which looks to be what I need. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PORSCHE-944-S-951-S2-968-TURBO-LEFT-DRIVER-DOOR-HANDLE-REPAIR-PIECE-/120844531182?fits=Model:944&hash=item1c22e535ee&item=120844531182&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_406wt_1257

Aren't MK1 Rabbits essentially the same damned thing? So are the 924 handles. The exception would be if they are the fancy "Porsche" scripted handles or the later 968 handles.

Also I believe they are the same side/side with the difference being which side the lever is located in the handle.

Nope, they're different handles. Much to my dismay I must say, as the Mk1/Mk2 handles are much cheaper...

Well, yes they are, but they are also very similar.

However, you can make them fit with a little work (drill out some rivets and swap the parts around):

Theres a 924/944 junk yard in RI. I can't recall the guys name but he does pre-purchase inspections too. Found him on the pelican board a few years back. He was reasonable when the neighbors kid shot out on side window.

You'll need to log in to post.
