Tim Smith, the owner of this purple 1987 Porsche 944 saw fit to breathe new life into this car when he purchased it, the state of affairs both inside the car and engine area were less than desirable. But, by the time he was done with it, she looked like a brand new car again.
Read Tim's build story below and you'll be amazed at the transformation and attention to detail on this Porsche 944.
