You got it. Like I said, hopefully she hasn't been too picked over but we'll see.

Just talked to a friend of mine who works just down the road and he's going to run down there and look at it for me in the next day or two. Before I drive 2.5 hours, I want to make sure it's mostly intact. I'll keep track of the requests and I'll let yall know what happens.

For a reasonable cost, I'd be interesting in this piece (as long as tabs where arrow is pointing aren't broken)



I could also use a driver's side window switches cover

My 968's dash board shows a few cracks. I think the '89 944 and 968's dashboard is identical. If the dashboard is without cracks and your price is reasonable I am interested.I may also be interested in the radio (head unit) and door speaker covers. Thanks

Hope I'm wrong but that looks like a dash cap. Interested to see what the condition of the donor is.

If it's an 89, why is it non-airbag?

Right, but steering wheel too. Were only the late turbos, S2, and 968 airbag cars?

Just a heads up everyone, there is also an 89 Turbo at Chesterfield Auto parts in Richmond as well. I went today and got most of the parts I was after so I won't be going out to Lynchburg this weekend after all to get stuff off the 89 na. My buddy hasn't had time to get out there and look at it for me and since it's been out there for so long, I'm sure there's not much left. I was really after the seats since they are in such great shape, but oh well. It worked out well actually cause it turns out I don't have time this weekend anyway. Those of you who made requests, check your PMs shortly and for anyone else who may have need of Turbo parts let me know, I can make a quick run out there Saturday morning. I almost bought the aftercooler but I decided against it. The bumper is gone, the rear glass is totally shattered, the seats are total crap, but except for the few things I took, the engine bay is mostly complete, I did not have time to turn the engine over though. If I had more time on my hands I'd pull the engine and rebuild it just to learn and get better, but alas, I do not. Richmond946, I did end up calling the place in Lynchburg and they said the engine was gone, but that's all the info they would give me. If you end up going out there, let me know, there were a couple knick knacks I wasn't able to get for the guys here and I am curious about those seats.

I've tried to find post or message, but whoever requested the ps hose guard, PM me, I got it for you. Also, whoever requested the ashtray, I got that too.

I would buy the manual transmission conversion for this pristine automatic that I want to convert to five speed
