1985 Porsche 944 Base Description

To start off, I do have title in hand, it is a rebuilt title.Odometer says 71k but it is closer to 90k as it no longer works. I picked up this car as a project and I have other things going on and I just don't have the time and money right now to fix it up like I wanted. Car runs and drives, engine is in good shape but it will need a water pump and timing belt. I believe it has a tail light out but I'm not 100% sure which it is off memory. The tach was working until recently, all the other gauges work fine, I believe there is a ground that just needs to be cleaned. I have replaced part of the wiring harness for the crankshaft sensors and ignition switch with a part from Lindsey racing. This car has power steering but it is currently not working, the power steering pump needs a part that holds it into place so that the belt can work. The sway bar needs new bushings in order to be out in, it is currently sitting in the trunk with the bolts that came off with it. Car has a new battery and the tires are hankooks with less than 100 miles on them. The clutch still feels good, and the transmission seems to be holding up well, no issues there. The passenger side door does not open from the outside currently, the driver side door had the linkage adjusted after having the same problem, that door works fine. The seats are worn and have some tears on the seems, there are some cheap covers over them. The dashboard has some cracks, and I don't believe the parking brake works. The ECU of the car has a race chip from fr wilks that allows it to rev to 7000 supposedly but I've never pushed it to confirm that, I've read these chips to be in high regards but you can't really buy them anymore. I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have, I listed all issues known to me, most are minor/cosmetic/easy fixes. I really just don't have the time to treat the car the way I want, it really could be restored fairly well or a good parts car or track car.
