Buying an Abandoned $300 Porsche 944! Will It Start?

Today we reveal our $300 1983 Porsche 944! This car sat abandoned for 3 years before we bought it at copart salvage auction for super cheap! Probably one of the cheapest Porsche in the USA. After selling some rare parts off the car, we should actually be in this car for FREE! Will this car start after sitting for years? Will it survive the first drive? What mods should we do? Crazy to think this car was even cheaper than watchjrgo 944 and our $500 Porsche “budget Boxster.”

Got to give it to Christian, definitely refurbish all the way

[@TheSyndicateFan7]

Definitely restore it, it’s a piece of history

[@nathanelliott2894]

I definitely think restoring is the way to go Bec you can make 15 -20k for putting 3k into them

[@nathanelliott2894]

Ik these guys won’t but I would definitely keep the seats with the car and restore it too

[@nathanelliott2894]

I think they should paint it back to black too

I’d say refurbish it

[@tomy5885]

I feel like every single one of these that can be saved should be saved. Gutting it would be heresy in my eyes. I would even keep the rare seats in it and restore it back to original spec.

Christian is right on this one. It would look nice and original with black paint.

[@pierceyu4546]

I like how JrGo and JrGarage both own an 80s Porsche. Makes it more confusing lmao

[@gavinduwe9494]

This is the first video I've ever seen from this channel, and you already have my subscription. I just recently bought a Porsche 944 and am having fun learning how to work on it. Mine is also a 1983 and it is really cool to learn some of the unique features that mine has. This is my first real project car and I completely agree with the steep learning curve, but many others have had this car as their first project car and learned on it, so I believe that I can too. I can't wait to see where you guys go with this, and I'll also check my seats and see if I'm able to get the seats that your getting as well, (my seats, whichever one they are, are in nearly mint condition.) Also, I would like to see a daily derivable build, since that's what I'm going to make mine into for when I go to college in the fall.

[@TruthyToo]

straight piping every car is a little played. Restore don't gut

[@aus10grady]

Restore it!!! We need more vehicle recyclers. Content may inspire

I love the brown interior (the seats, dash, etc.). Gorgeous. I would refurbish it.

[@nikopalonen92]

Complete restore & paint job.

[@hollowpoint372]

Restore it, don’t gut it. A note about the paint. I enjoy detailing cars as a hobby. You might be able to save the paint. It would be hard work but a two, or maybe even three stage wet sand followed by a polish might bring it back.

[@cigarjefe]

RESTORE to original spec, including paint. Keep in BROWN.

[@Aamadmax21]

Fully agreed

Brown!? It’s no the 80s anymore tho

[@paulking54]

Restore the beauty!! Man those seats are lush, try keeping them and that interior is a great colour.

Oh yeah! When you don’t have money, but want to show off to your friends and say that you bought a Porsche, this option comes to mind. Thank you for the video!

Seeing those stone chips and that fuzzy green/brown paint, I don't think any amount of detailing could make that look as good as this car deserves to look.

[@dominikschmidt8925]

It would be cool if you would do a full detailing to make it look great again. A deep British Racing Green paint would look amazing😍

[@bjrnrs]

They are really great well build cars. Im still impressed how smooth and perfect my 89 Porsche 944 S2 runs. It has over 200.000 km right now.

[@frostyflake1128.]

You guys should change your channel's name from jr garage to straight pipe garage 😂🖤🖤

[@chriss8694]

Try running some injector cleaner. I did that for my c4 a few times when it was idling rough and it fixed the issue, was quieter, and got 5 mpg better

[@dennischase9209]

I had an 83 and absolutely loved it. I bought it from a friend of mine, who is a mechanic. It was his wife's daily driver. I miss it. So much fun. My brother was driving it when the timing belt went. Never got a chance to fix it, when my friend who sold it to me's son came to me looking to buy it off of me. I had just gotten a Harley I was working on and was spending more time and money on that, so I said yes. Wish I hadn't! Fix it up!

You can always break a trip counter if you play with it too much. If u use it normally, you can reset it while driving, no prob (I did it myself 1001 times) Anyways, it has no impact on the main counter. The thing with that is it goes around at 100.000, and u can never tell how many times it happened.
