Anyone in Phoenix want to check out a 951 for me?

I had the same experience with an alignment, but they would still be my choice for PPI in Phoenix. I bought a lot of parts from DJ and there were always 951's there. They know 951's pretty well- they were building a 3.0l turbo last time I was in there.

For this car in particular, which would you trust more, a PPI from DJ or Jeremy's history with the car?

I would have no issues with DJ looking at the car or using Jeremy's input. Both can't hurt. Jeremy knows the history and Don Jacksons gives the current state.

Julie told me I needed another project car like I needed another hole in the head. Now I have both.

Leakdown test showed 2% across all 4 cylinders. Impressive.
I'm flyinig in on Saturday morning the 21st to pick up the car. I think I'm going to swing by Jeremy's house for a bit after I pick it up, so if anyone else local would like to meet up and check the car out that's where I'll be!

PPI turned out great. The guys at Don Jackson are VERY ****, and a lot of the areas received a 5 out of 10 but were rated as "GREAT" on the first page. I asked DJ why he had stuff rated as a 5 (which says average in my mind) then described them as great elsewhere, and he replied that to get a 10 in his mind he would have to be looking at a brand new car. So, while everything was in excellent working order, the fact that the car IS 22 years old caused him to give it a 5.

Yes, a bit nerve racking though taking into account the car's age, regardless of conditon, as well as the fact that I'll be driving solo from Phoenix to San Antonio through the night which is around 1,000 miles. Guess I'm going to be pounding 5 hour energy and "jamming out" to that sweet sweet factory Blaupunkt tape deck! 
I've got a buddy flying into San Antonio on Sunday to meet me, do the rest of the drive with me. We're definitely swinging through New Orleans for a bit of sight seeing, and thinking about Nashville as well on the way back up to the DC area.
