Rust does not bode well for any 944 body.

You are between a rock and a hard place. You are going to have to tie up a fair amount of money getting this engine ready. I noticed a few bigger ticket items are absent from your list as well.

You need to sit down and think about the following:

What is my long term goal? In this case, it is building a 951 out of a series 1 body.

How much is this car going to cost me to build: Figure the cost of the car and parts, paint and body work, and any machine shop work. Take this figure and immediately add 10 - 15%

Now, could you sell the completed car for that much money?

Could you buy what you are trying to build for that much money?

Could you buy something else that would make you as happy or happier for that much money?

The answers to those questions should tell you what you need to know.

Cars are poor investments to begin with, but some can become money pits very quickly if you aren't careful
