Have you thought about a 914? I essentially bought a cheap 911, knowing it would take me a long time and a lot of $ to get it moving again. If I had it to do over again I might concider a nice 914, to drive and toy with. If you take care of the 914 it likely won't lose much in value, so when you have more $ for a 911, sell the 914 for roughly what you paid, and buy a 911. Or keep the 914 and turn it into a track car
Just watch for rust on the 914 too. If I were you I'd looked beyond the northeast. I know it crimps the budget, but rust sucks, and around here cars don't come without it.
Best wishes,
