To repair or parts car, that is the question

[JFL2021]

Hi folks,

I recently bought a 2002 996 cabriolet that I'm trying to put back together or at the very least get it functional for a possible auto cross/track car or use for parts on another car.

The history on the car:
Imported into Canada from Florida in 2007
Car has a irreparable tile in Ontario and was branded with a certificate of destruction back in 2006/ 2007 in Florida
The car interior was completely striped including HVAC box by prior owner because it needed a new front harness. For some reason it was received with a cut out fuse panel
Car has a partially installed replacement harness (complete but not ran to final locations etc...)
Engine was removed (unknown condition) and transmission is still in the car and I have the full engine with accessories, hoses & harness
Car only has 29,000 ish mile - mileage confirmed when I got the instrument cluster working
Overall the car is in great shape and looks the part of a 30k mile car, would be a shame to part this car out


So here's where I'm at after a few weekends and some evenings of fun time & discoveries:
Car is relatively complete, a few missing items (nothing major), prior owner still finding parts
Completed the fuse block and harness installation, no burnt fuses or missing relays, battery connected
HVAC, dash, climate control and radio now works
Rear lights function (brake, parking, signal etc...)
All 4 windows go up and down
Door lock did work before the immobilizer issue
Car came with the spoiler up and convertible top stowed with a hard top
Hard top is set aside, convertible top on manual and pulled out for inspection, spoiler now works


Issues I'm currently working on:
Front headlights don't work - HID module is missing so cant really test/ confirm
Front & rear trunks/hood aren't working - when I click the drivers side buttons, i do have 12 volts at the front connector using a test light but not the back
Radio turns on but no sound, only the 4 base speaker system on this car (no speakers in door cards), I don't have the original amp. I assume all 996's came with one and must be installed for sound, pink twisted wires/connectors in the frunk with nothing to connect to
Drivers side roll over protection bar is releasing, currently have the connector to he sensor disconnected
I wasn't getting any issues with the Immobilizer at first then all of a sudden it started blowing fuses and clicks continuously like a relay
Convertible top doesn't work but I expected that since I discovered the electric latch on the roof is missing and finding no power to the roof electrical connector behind drivers side, I assume this is because of the immobilizer issue


First things I would like to clear up is getting tunes thought the speakers, fix the faulty ejecting roll protection bar and sort out the clicking immobilizer


any ideas?

I know its a winded post but it gives you a clear idea of what I'm working

Pics were taken the evening I got the car home. I can post updated pics if anyone is interested
