[JT912]

So the challenge to put this together in a safe driver for under $10K was met and it is possible. Here is my rundown. Keep in mind this is you doing all of your own work. Basic price for parts NOT including shipping costs. Putting in a Porsche powerplant that was purchased with some believable background, a 901 tranny that will probably need syncos but is cheap, and pretty much everything else in used- highly used condition. If you want things nice start adding. Or you can buy a rusty parts car that has all of these parts (minus the engine/trans) for around $3k.
The tally came in at $9270 and did nothing to address the exterior condition of the car. If you are fine driving around a true rat-rod then this is a good plan for you. If you were expecting a nice driver I would ad $5000 for paint and upgrading the condition of things like the seats, quality of the chrome, non-cracked turn signals and such. Also keep in mind the longer it takes to accumulate the parts, the more costly they will be since they certainly are not becoming any less expensive as time goes on.
