i'm toying with some ideas, which generally change on an hourly basis, but i really wanted to ask the great pelican community about their hotrod or outlaw 911s.

what it all comes down to is: is it worth it?

i currently have an '84 3.2 that i bought from a fellow forum member back in 2013. since purchase, i've put approximately 10k miles on the car, and spent approximately $8k in small upgrades and/or maintenance items, beyond the $12k the previous owner spent during his 6 year ownership. i also have tons of records from the previous 3 owners.

the car is in phenomenal, nearly original condition. there are a few aftermarket parts and some areas of the car have been resprayed over the years, but it's only got 96k original miles. in my opinion, it's too nice an example to hack up and build a hotrod from.

so if i wanted to go hotrod, i'd sell this one and either buy one someone else mostly built and put my own touches on it, or buy a shell and build it out to my specs.

so what am i after? if i go the hotrod route, i want something that's more drive-able. and what i mean by that is i want me or my wife to be able to get in and go get groceries and not have any reservations - basically daily driver capabilities.

is what i'm after achievable? anything you can share about your build or purchase that maybe i'm overlooking? if you don't mind sharing numbers too, that could certainly help swing my mindset as well.

thanks all.
