FWIW, I would be very interested in purchasing it as a project.  I've always wanted to build a 911 and yours sound like a great starting point.  

The buzzards are already circling! Better buy some rally tires and lifted springs STAT!

I want a pic of dual roostertails by mid-april.

Also, host a build party. It's amazing what a group of challengers can get done in a day, with a full weekend + a friday or monday 'sick' day I bet we could assemble an entire 911.

I have a lot of frequent flier miles....

First off, you should turn it into exactly what you want.  If you have the means, find a good shop and pay them to do it, that way you can enjoy it as quickly as possible.

Secondly, if you do decide to sell it, I'll buy it.  Just send me a PM and we'll do the deal.

Did you just call me a buzzard!? I'll have you know I would give that 911 a very good home wink

You should go over to Pelican Parts, find some guys that live in your general vicinity and have them help you finish it.

Only in the most endearing sense of the word. You're probably not on this board if you can read the first post of this thread and not think to yourself "maybe I could use that 911" even if only for a moment :P

I'll echo that you should build it rally style because that is what you want. 

And I'd list all the stuff that you'd want to do and figure out which you'd want to do and what you could/should farm out. 

Maybe you farm out the motor build while you do the suspension and interior.  Or you build the motor while the body shop paints it. 

Jobs like putting on new brakes, wheels, control arms, etc are easy to delegate if you have a little work party.

I hate to admit.

.just need to get off my lazy arse.  Engine and transmission already built.  Just need to install. Rear suspension done.  Just need to install new front suspension components.  Need to order and install rs door cards and carpets/rear seat delete.  Have Das sport bar just needs to be installed.  Really just need to do minor reassembly and I could be driving in a matter of a month.
