New car, or, Is it still a barn find if it was outside?

If the RC30 is not enough to get between the roadracer and a derelict 911, well, its meant to be. True love, 993 style. But if you want me to kick in a Cosworth Vega with 15k miles let me know 
I've been fortunate to have tracked down a few "barn finds". In my experience its best to avoid the "How much did you pay?" inquiry. IMO the answer to that question is not relevant. Other than the buyer/seller, it is no one's business. And just knowing the amount of $$$ that traded hands will not convey what it took to make the deal happen.
A couple semi-recent adventures:

Great story. I am in MA and have a similar looking '97 C2S. (Blue/Tan) The 'S' cars seem to be somewhat rare in these parts so great to hear of, and eventually see, another one.
There is a fellow named Rick Nelson who is a master detailer and paint correction expert. Heis in Wakefield. Before repainting, you might want to consult with him.
PS-- Where exactly did you find this.

Nothing new to report this week. Parts are still on the way. I'll only be cleaning this weekend and just from 12-2 on Saturday and 9:30-12 on Sunday. I do have decent coffee and I'd love to show off this diamond in the rough. Send me a pm for directions to the bat cave.
Great progress.

Seriously, that is so cool that it fired up after a little TLC. 'Tis a noble quest you're on, to return an "S" back to the world.

Lots of cleaning today. It's not fun at all. Went to move the car and got a big exclamation point warning light. Will see what that's about and get back to it tomorrow morning.
