The Sum of the Parts...
....is Greater than the whole.
We won the car at $19101. It cost about $1200 to get it shipped from Ohio to Colorado in an enclosed trailer with the boxes of stuff packed in it and around it.
I figured it was worth close to that as parts if I got overwhelmed with it and wanted out.
One of the hardest things has been not knowing how the car is supposed to go together. I’ve done a lot of trawling of this site for pictures and info. It’s different when you take the car apart yourself. On the flip side, I am fortunate that it’s not a stock build so I can kind of make up the bits I’m not sure about (within the constraints of what is acceptable for a 911 build).
I’m learning as I go, trying to make the best of what we have. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, the whole LS swap business gets plenty of push back from more than the just Porsche purists, it’s the easy choice and so gets a bad rap. It’s the easy choice for a reason though, light, powerful, reliable, plenty of support and aftermarket parts galore(if someone wants to donate a 6 speed and twin turbo motor from a 996, I’ll consider stuffing it the back and using the LS for something else).
