Wait. How does this go from nothing you'd even ride in sub-$300K? I guess. We live in extremely different corners of the 911 world.

Or you can just, you know, buy a nice looking and driving car and throw a tweak or mod on here or there. Drive and enjoy, repeat.

When the mood passes, take all the stuff off and put the factory stuff back on, then sell.

I see no real point to spending lots of money and valuable driving time trying to create something you don't even know if you'll like when it's done. But that's just me.

The issue here is everyone's level of perfection and quality varies.
What is awesome to one guy is a piece of crap to another
Bottom line you want a very high quality build with top finish quality, a big motor, proper chassis work, etc you are talking big bux.

Yeah, we sometimes order Top Dog's for the 4th, just to have those Hot Links! They send buns and all the condiments so it feels just like being there!

These projects are never finished. People just run out of money.
