The local pick and pull, or U-pull my parts, or, as it's really called, Wild Bill's Auto Wrecking, has a '83 944 Euro model on hand. I needed a driver side door latch setup, the one on Spike is cracked. Got that, fits perfectly, door works a lot better. AND, picked up a console gauge package from the nearby 924 n/a. AND, picked up the rear Euro bumper from the 944, with brackets! AND, there's that weird cooling fan switch on the 924 I pulled just out of curiosity. The 944 still has the yellow gauges with the speedo going to 260 or 280 kph if anyone is interested.

Probably throw the bumper on Pelican for 200 bucks with the brackets.

Aftermarket AC? Usually a AC knob where the tempgauge is.

Good question, so I checked. It has a Cutler-Hammer, made in USA, thermal switch in the back, cut in, cut out. It operates the slider switch on the bottom. Therefore, I suggest, it's an aftermarket A/C unit. The hood latch is effed up so can't get a peek underneath the hood.

I can blow a whole day in a junkyard and not notice the time. By the title I was hoping you found a k-27 turbo or some 4 piston brakes.

Nah, someone torched the TT to remove engine, engine mounts, all the fun stuff. Just the gauge package, and really nice hatch glass and spoiler are all left. Oh, and the 5-lug rear brakes/rotors are intact as well.

Does a 944 euro bump fit a 924? I might be wrong, but I don't think it fits on a 924, maybe modifying the bumper it might. Good find though!

Car is sitting in the sand, not sure I can get at those, but I could check it out.
