Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

Highlights/1st impressions:

A shot of the "collector" for the drain water that comes off the rear hatch window and is supposed to drain down a passageway and into a tube and out the rear fender well. I briefly thought this might be the start of a stash of dope that would make me rich but alas is was only straw from the hay hauling.

Kudos to Porsche for their famous quality of body prep/paint. I had heard there would not be much rust and so far that is true. Very nice to work on a well protected car for a change.

Remind me never to get in a wreck in this Porsche. The seats are held in by teensy tiny screws instead of the USA style flanged bolts that I am familiar with. At first I thought "OK different strokes for different folks - it doesn't really matter as long as the seat BELTS and anchored separately." But guess what - the latch side is part of the seat!!

I don't like the shape of the seats but I do like the two handles. One is for sliding and the other is for tilting the seat back.
