What is your assessment? Sorry, I didn't realize you've seen the car in person.
Again, I could have sold it if: I wanted to entertain everyone thinking they found a gold mine for $300 and then realizing how much work it needed and again, I just don't need a phone call saying... "hey, this thing has more rust..."
with over 30 60s to 70s old cars bought and sold in the last 20 years, it happens.
Lastly, it had to go. new company, finishing the 73...

Dont' be angry, I'm not necessarily being that critical. I didn't see the car in person (and you know that), so you have a point. Pictures are always kinder than the actual object.
I thought the longitudinals on a 911 were made up from 3 pieces: the outer rocker, the inner rocker and the sill portion of the floor pan. In fact, I know that is the case. So, when you listed inner and outer rockers AND longitudinals, to me, that is the same thing. That is unless the WHOLE floor pan needed to be replaced. Since I couldn't see any daylight through any of the pieces except at a few corners, I assumed the floors would have been kept in the event of restoration. Also, you only listed rear pans. Floors, therefore, were assumed to be good.
BTW, the hot air tube is not a continuous metal tube. It is at either end of the longitudinal, but connected by a hose in the middle door area. That soft portion has a mesh in it.
In the end, you posted that you cut up a 911 Porsche; I did the same in March. Funny, mine was totally rust free, but hit on 3 sides and repaired very poorly. The car was not worthy of a demolition derby. Yours looked better. When we post things like this, expect criticism.
I apologize for the beer remark. I think you wanted the thing out of the way more than anything else. It didn't appear to be hopeless. You had to be the final judge of that and I did not have to agree.
