Hey guys, I just replaced the original text from my posts. Dropbox is giving me some issues so I'll try to re-post the photos link when I can get it working.

As stated above, the 911 world seems to be filled with car flippers and I got a little paranoid about giving so much detailed info on the car when I simply had a deposit down. So I temporarily removed the details until I could do a PPI and purchase the car. Now I've done both, so I've replaced all the original details.

Thanks again for your help. I didn't mean for my post removal to come across as ungrateful.

The PPI revealed a few items that need addressing, of course. Fuel line dry rot, so they need to be replaced. Compression test came back perfect. Tires need replacement, and the wheels are 17" Cup knockoff wheels so I'm just going to buy 17" Euromeisters and 4 new tires. Potential rear wheel bearing replacement needed. Found out on the way home that the fuel gauge is occasionally functional (new sender ordered, fingers crossed that it's the issue). The right turn signal also doesn't work, front and back. Transmission fluid leak that is more than a tiny drip. The slow speed accident the guy told me about seems to have been superficial = Some scratches to add to the already awful paint. The interior is overall in decent condition but very dirty. I also got all the invoices from the previous owner, which totaled about $17k in the last 4 years.

So I have plenty to work on. My price was under your low number, Nick. I wouldn't have thought it was a great deal if the top end rebuild, headstuds, and clutch hadn't been done. But the previous owner drove it daily and had to keep it running decently so the mechanical stuff seems pretty sorted. Anyway, thanks again and sorry for any confusion.
