My barn find Porsche is a total bodged mess (Episode 1)

Описание: I’ve gone and done it. I took a gamble on a "classic" Porsche 944 I spotted on eBay. The listing described it as a genuine barn find, but now that it’s on the driveway, the big question is: have I bought a restorable icon, or just a stripped out donor car that should have stayed in the barn?

In this episode, we’re stripping back the layers of this vintage Porsche to see what’s actually hiding under the grime. The "mechanical reality" is grim. We’re facing a total hydraulic system failure we’ve got seized brake callipers, perished lines, and a clutch master and slave cylinder that have completely packed up.

Beyond the oily bits, the car is riddled with "previous owner" syndrome. I’m uncovering a nightmare of electrical bodges, DIY wiring loom hacks, and "temporary" fixes that suggest this project car is going to be a much bigger headache than the eBay ad let on. Is this a dream Porsche 944 restoration, or have I just bought a very expensive pile of scrap?
