My advice is to sell this nice car that has just had an engine rebuild and find one that some other poor slob has spent his net worth on and go from there. I just sold my car for $28000 but had close to $40000 in it. No one will pay for the mods that you will put into any car. By a new one with everything you want and then play with it and shine it up occasionally.

I think you got your answer over on Pelican. Don't stop...kieep going...you're already 3/4 of the way there. You said you wanted to drive this car, so make it the most pleasurable driver you can.

Like 911Rudy said. Buy one that is modded. Once you start modding the car it will hurt the value (even though its a much better car than stock). Keep it stock or flush your money down the drain...My .02...

Can you tell I am still bitter....

Build what you want, but remember you rarely get back $ put into mods. It's a trade-off between the financial side, (where keeping it stock would mean it would hold it's value the most) vs. creating the car that you personally most want ( it will be much more expensive, but how do you put a price tag on the thrill of a modded 930?). If you intend to keep the 930 for a long time and drive the hell out of it I"d say build what you want. If you view it as an investment then keep it stock.

The other option is finish what looks like a great job without much further expense. Then drive it, use it all the time and enjoy it. You still are driving a very fast and very fun car. Next time around you really will be able to make a choice. These cars last if maintenance is kept up. You have years of enjoyment coming up.
