Mods and Restoration
              As I said in the picture gallery, I am in the process of trying to restore my 944.  One problem.... most of the 83-85
              model year brown items have been discontinued, so this makes it a painful process, both to my mind and my
              pocketbook!  I have decided not to give up, but to focus as much of my time and energy into this process.  I will be
              posting lessons learned, tips, outcomes of experiments and such in this section.  I will also be placing questions here,
              just in case any of you 944 owners out there have faced any of the problems I run in to.  I will give you the rundown
              on my car for starters.  If you have any good places (cheap) to get restoration parts, let me know!  Thanks!     ~Solo
