Just needs aluminum siding on the doors to complete the look.

It is 100% complete, and the attention to detail is there. I can only assume it drives well, as the builder is clearly OCD.

The actual shape of the flairs is not too bad. Smooth panels would probably improve the looks to appeal to conventional tastes.

Cmon guys, it's effin awful.

Moving the rear wheel arch is not so bad but the front / rear valences and new wheel arches just don't fit a 911's soft compound curves.

His wife is gonna be pissed when she finds out he chopped up all her steamer baskets.

Just because you can does not mean you should.

A pre pollution car has extra value in certain states. But a classic 911/12 body is a rare bird today. They just aren't making any more of them.

This guy did a lot of things that most of us could never do. I'd be happy in an X1/9 with a K20 swap, so I'm not going to judge a guy who can take scrap and make that. I am a good mechanic, but that is way beyond my limits.

And we can critique it.

Sounds like a bargain. There is a Speedster over on the “transportation “ thread pretty much in that condition - $300k plus.
