Are crazy high restore cost warnings exaggerations?

FROM RL FORUM-----"Nicole is right - as always!!! Look at this one in NZ with FX it is about USD$700. IMHO It would probably cost about 40k to get it back to nice condition. Give or take 30k of course depending on what you want."-----MY -REPLY>What is the cost breakdown on a 40k restore your talking about?? I plan on doing all the work on my basket case myself using help from the internet and a brother that can paint. I plan on rebuilding/cleaning parts and buying used. I would think 40k would be to pay someone else to do everything while buying all new parts from Porsche to get it back in perfect concours condition. Not many go that route. I may be way off base here due to my lack of experience, but 40k to get it in nice shape sounds crazy high and unrealistic for the average restore usually done on these forums IMHO. ------HEY MPDANO. How much have you spent. 40K?
