Default Anyone for a 968 engine swap project?

I just came across this on eBay. Looks like a 944S -> 968 engine swap gone horribly wrong. eBay auction Looks like the whole package can be had for less than $4K, and the parts alone (includes a 968 engine with 45K miles) is worth close to that. I wish I lived nearby, I'd pick it up myself just to have a fun winter project!

"I don't have pictures, so don't ask."

Well he's the friendly sort, so any sale by him should be good.

For ***** sake go buy a chip diggie camera and take some pics.

I'm shopping for a house right now. It's amazing how people can pick the absolute worse pictures to make thier houses look like crap. And the descriptions are twice as bad. One picture was literally of a patch of dirt in the back yard.


People are not only stupidier than you think, they are stupidier than you can imagine.

Well, I had the guy e-mail me some pictures, but he only had exterior shots (why am I even looking? -- I don't even have the space or the time for another project...) Turns out the guy is trying to use the 944S flywheel, where a 944S2 flywheel seems to be needed. No wonder the engine keeps acting up on him.
