911sc rebodied to 996 turbo

Okay so at risk of getting banned for buying this here is my intro to my latest purchase. It is a 1980 Porsche 911sc that was turned into a convertible from I'm assuming a targa. Also here is the kicker they rebodied it to a 996 turbo. Definitely not what I would have done that's for sure. Also the engine is from a 3.2 carrera. Which was said to be cammed and rebuilt recently. Still waiting for seller to give me paperwork for that stuff. What do you think it's worth ? Also I've been pondering if I should keep it as is or try to change it to a more desirable original look. Below I attached a link to the picture that's the only way I could get it to work.

Only buy it if it’s exactly what you want. Changing that body will end up costing you as much as a whole other car if everything goes perfectly smooth... and it won’t.

I know you didn’t ask but I’d walk away from this one fast.

If there was ever a 911 crying out for an LS swap.

And the guy who did this should have six fingers (of his choosing) amputated so he won't do anything like this ever again.
This is truly horrible IMO.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, I'd imagine

Maybe Kayla will take it off your hands when she's done with her current project.
