1- '82 931 with a blown head gasket, warped head, cracked exhaust manifold, cracked turbo housing, and a sweet roller paint job.

Sigh, these are approximates but I am sure its on the conservative side and all by my own hands.

50+ 944 n/a

20+ turbos (These are the ones I can remember from the top of my head: front hit red 86 in S central LA, metallic green built 86 with t27 turbo LSD track car, burnt dark gray 86 with 86k miles, rear hit red 86 with 16" enkei wheels/manual brake bias adjustment, burnt white 87 with shell converted to a LS1 race car, 87 burnt white scrapped by ex gf, engine burnt 86 red from a Jamaican guy, total burn 86 turbo with no paint left and melted wheels, etc)

2 944S (one wrecked and the other one was previously cut in half with early back half of the car)
5+ 924S
5+ 924 early
5+ 928, 928s

I have built a lot more than I have taken apart and its really not worth the money for the labor. One guy asked me why I do it. My only answer is I am familiar with these cars and will continue to screw around with them unless I don't enjoy it anymore.

All of these taken apart were not worth fixing or automatics (automatically becomes a parts car). In the process of taking apart another 5 and bought a total wreck today which brings the total 951/944/924S I have to 16 currently.

Wow, surely not all of those really needed to be parted.

Mine have all been messed up in some way or another. I have a couple that have been put together (check ebay under plyhammer101 for the one that is selling currently). Some have probably been possible to save but the majority of mine are gonners that have had some good parts.
