Well I'm still plugging away at plugging up all the holes. The first picture is just to help me self-motivate - a reminder of how much I have done in a couple of months. There is a lot going on in the area where the yellow is. Very Frankensteinish in here. The latest thing was I decided (yet again) to shave some more stuff off the chunk-o-mustang and smooth out the area near the upper spring perches. The second picture is a close up of that area. I like my little cones/boobies!! Third pic is the wheel well side of the upper spring perch - cone/booby theme on that side too. And yet I still have dozens of smaller factory holes to fill. Not to mention others drilled by the PO that I have been spotting as I crawl around the back end. Last edited by sparkydog; 12-20-2015 at 10:11 AM. |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Nice update!!
I don't have any real suggestions in regards to the security system, it sounds like someone wired in a rat's nest! I did have a 2001 Camaro SS prior to my current '72 C10 (man I miss that car :/ ), and I was having an issue similar to yours -- turn the key on and lights/dash/relays would flash and go berserk, but it would not start. I thought for sure it was the VATS or a bad key or the factory security system bugging out. I figured out it was actually a bad battery connection. The terminals were tight and appeared clean, but the side-post battery had actually leaked acid into the battery cable, so I could not see the severe corrosion inside until I actually cut away the cable's jacket/insulation. I actually got the car home by pouring water onto and into the positive cable, which helped create continuity I guess? Sorry for the long story, but you might check the battery cables for internal corrosion, although yours sounds more like it has something to do with allllll that glorious wiring spliced in |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
There used to be a user on LS1.com that was a whiz when it came to the computers in the F-Body cars - his username was Frost, Tunes by Frost was the name of his business or website or whatever; he'd be a good resource for removing the VATS. There may be a write-up somewhere about removing it, I'll try to do a search to find something. I think I agree with you though - I'd prefer to remove the aftermarket alarm and fix everything back to stock to do the transplant

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Found a thread that may help you with bypassing the VATS when you get to that point. Hopefully I can leave this here; if I need to delete it and send it in a PM, let me know, I'm not sure if it's ok to post a link to another website?

Hate to see Halfbreed go away, but congratulations on getting the parts car. That little Porsche should really rock now!

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

The Camaro harvest is over and it's ready to head off to the crusher.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Just waiting for the next installment of stuff you have done. It is good to watch you work thru all this stuff. Great work.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
A bump in the hood would be fitting on the "euro" car.
Love this thread.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
The 944's aren't all that popular, but I really like them. My first car was a 85.5 stone gray metallic with a 5 speed. Pretty slow, but I loved it. Yours should make for a fun toy!

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
I'm trying to get rid of the Camaro carcass without having to tow it down to the wrecking yard. The normal internet places that "buy you junk car" don't want my Camaro because I already took the valuable stuff off of it. And scrap metal places don't seem to want it because it's a car not a washing machine.
Anybody got suggestions? Thanks! |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Thats weird because I usually take my junk cars to a scrap yard. As long as the gas tank is removed, and all fluids drained they accept it. Just have to fill out end of vehicle life papers confirming I own the vehicle. Not an out of ordinary thing for the scrap yards here..odd that they would not accept it maybe California laws concerning vehicle disposal? What about hauling it down to an auto junkyard?

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
The JY will take my vehicle but I have to haul it there. None of the tow trucks will come to me unless the vehicle is more popular and has most of it's valuables still on it. I am asking if anyone knows a way to get the carcass hauled off my property without me having to tow it myself.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Sawzall and bury it to so your land has more mineral content.
Sorry all I can come up with after sweating down here this morning working in the shop

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Craigslist it? Some scrap metal enthusiast might want it for the metal even with prices as low as they are. Or sawzall it into small pieces and haul it to the scrap yard in the back of your truck?
