What's not to love? Buy it before someone else does.

wtf i love buying houses now

Do it if you trust someone else's work. I'd try to get a bit lower of price. Also the swap kinda ruins the dynamic of the car, I had a s2 and it was made for long, curvy country roads and still being a practical dd. The extra weight and power kinda ruins that but you do you.

That's actually not too bad, price is quite high though. There's a 944 rolling chassis listed for 700 bucks in my area. Modified cars lose all collector value, keep that in mind.

Pretty cool, senpai. I would, as long as you like the look of the car. Any car with a V8 swap is instantly 110% better than it was before. Especially, one with a shitty stock engine that was known for being a hot mess of dookie.

>Weight

Aren't GM engines only slightly heavier than the original I4? I also like the appeal of having a more reliable engines, no more bi-yearly timing belt changes.

It's either an Swap 944 or a 951 by the way of a 944 with god power, and 951s run $10k minimum, and swap engines tend to be more reliable.

>pay me for the mods I've done despite you having no idea about my mechanical abilities

Nah. People like this are fucking retards. I didn't tell you to drop a v8 in it so why should I pay you a premium because you decided to on your own?

>all gauges work properly
>all work maticously performed with no expense spared or corners cut
>oops just kidding it doesn't even have a functioning odometer

>this conversion is super awesome
>so awesome in fact that I never drove it after doing it
>but it's so fun to drive obviously

Retard alert written all over this thing. The fact you're even considering it tells me you're also retarded and possibly live in a trailer.

Not sure where you are but in Southern California there are a bunch of old off year porches to be had for pennies. 924,928,944's all go for nothing here, especially an empty shell.

Idk, I had my S2 for 6 years and it was my daily and never had a single issue, other than the clutch dying (wearable item, transmission) and my cv joints snapping multiple times (launching it, I treated it like shit). Hell, I was a complete faggot and only changed the oil twice in those 6 years because I was an idiot, lazy kid. Still no issues. Also I thought it was ls swaps in particular that were closer to the weight of the 4 since they're aluminum, LT is heavier? Especially a pre 88, car is 2700 pounds and you want to keep it that way.

I fucking doubt it
