More than happy to volunteer my time and be flown to Besançon and help with the cars. A cot in the garage would work for me. Wine, cheese, and baguettes would be enough

Hi folks
Sorry for late answer, got a lot to do ^^
I hope i can help, i'm not a Porsche specialist, but who know, i can have some usefull knowledge (i hope so)
The 944 is on the road ! May have to open a new topic i think, still have some little trouble, but car is starting and running "fine"
Those car a bit funny, but i'm more into swap. If i can find one without motor for not to much $$ will be funny to swap a big one into this and make a sleeper (i will be hated for this by the purist) but that's my job to make sleeper and swap ^^
Regards
