I nominate Brian Lee for the stellar build of his rust bucket.......

Just catching wind of this now. This is a bit of a mega thread, spanning many years. A couple things to highlight:

1. This almost ended before it started. Due to another driver not paying attention, I almost went over the edge of a cliff in this car. (Pics in the thread)

2. While I was building it, both of my parents passed away suddenly. So, to honor them, I mixed their ashes into the primer. Working in the garage was a good place for me to focus my emotions.

3. I did everything on this car myself, from welding the flares to hand cutting and binding the carpet. I let a professional paint the car, and I certainly had some friends pitch in along the way, but I did 95% of the work in my single car garage on a pretty fierce budget.

4. I used a vibrating dildo to paint my wheels.

Repair and TLC being given a taped and molested 1974 911S 2.7 !
 
Recently purchased my 1974 911S 2.7 coupe with the original black paint and gave it to a Porsche master mechanic for three months. Now has a new fuel injection and a new master cylinder. Now has a new windshield. Now has correct new tires as per the owners manual specs. The chrome steel, seven and six inch, wheels refurbished. Grill painted black with a new 911S gold insignia mounted on engine compartment lid.
Needs lots of future cosmetic work but looks great five feet away right now.
Great ride on these Mendocino county wine country back roads through the redwoods, and on the winding, curving, bending, north coast Hiway 1 El Camino Real.

I'd like to add Kermit to the list. My dad and I are going "halfsies" on this project which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise...neither of our wives know who to be mad at! It is waiting its turn for the paint booth, so many more updates coming soon...
