Wow. $$$ but its going to feel really good to have all that done.
Incidentally, after all that the timing belt and water pump were "loose ends"? What was some of the stuff the PO had done?

Owning a porsche is like owning a boat. Just dig a hole and pour money down it.
The beautiful thing about all the $$ you spend is you will get absolutely none of it back when you decide to sell. I paid about half of what the PO put into my turbo over the last few years/total 8k miles for the whole car. He did the konis, m030 sways, clutch, synchros, turbo, timing/wp, front motor reseal, etc. i would love to say it is like a new car, but as soon as i got it i had to do rotors, and will soon do........
welcome to the pit.

Yes, that is not for just what I had done...in aggregate.
He has done the Roof seals, New Cab top, brakes, tires, interior, clutch, rotors, complete new ac system, exhaust, ect....
At this point if I sold it I can break even...
Cars are indeed a waste of money.
