You can definitely re use the steering wheel and the 911S trim. The rest looks like 1 step down from scrap.

As Seinfeld would say; "Good luck with all that."

I think you'd finish quicker whittling one from a block of billet.

Or he could just spend the same # of hours it would take working at a 7-eleven + the $$ that would be used and buy the best one in the world. Start driving tomorrow. To the 7-eleven.

Being from the rust belt, (one of the many reasons that car nuts move to the mecca of SoCal), I'd rather own a dry '77 924 w/ automatic trans than that soggy turd. And it's a targa, for chrisakes!! Your family is going to commit you.

I think the only thing left after media blasting will be the 911S logo...

That guy reminds me of one of the rednecks from the Pulp Fiction "Gimp" scene.

Therefore i find his commercials very unsettling. LOL.

I, for one, applaud the effort, but it does make tilting at windmills look sane

I'm on your squad, though: "Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor!"

LOL! the wheels alone on this car are worth more than the nicest 77 auto 924 in the world!

We all make our choices in life.

Thanks Paul, sanity has never been a strong point. Everyone here knows that! I think Mr. Hancock really hit the nail on the head on the Technical forum thread.

Put it on a piece of plywood and haul it to the front yard. Line it, Stick a pump in the cab and make it a fountain.
Sure beats the naked mermaid I've got my eyes on.
Some people have all the luck.
