I've been thinking about this project:

Yup, straight 6 with 217hp, same as an 87 911 with 500 extra pounds. But they are surprisingly quick.

I would pass on that wagon with the wiring issue. Even if sorted out, it probably won't be done right. Wonder if it's the engine harness which are known to go bad. Takes 2 hours to put a later good used one in. Mercedes used biodegradable harness sheathing in the engine bay that caused huge problems. Most were fixed 20 years ago but my 90K mile car still had the original.

Personal taste, I've had a white wagon and they aren't very pretty. Black or navy are the best IMHO. Navy one above was lowered with E420 wheels, that car rocked.
