*** UPDATE ***
The car was not for sell and it was not in my planning to sell it soon, but a man who saw my car when I was at the gas station made me an offer that I could not refused!
He offered me 38500$ CAD for the Porsche, that a very good deal for me considering the salvage title!
For those who questioned about the value of my car:
Final cost: 29000$ CAD = 26500$ USD
Sell price: 38500$ CAD = 35500$ USD
So I made 2199km with it
Ride it during 1 month
Made 9000$ USD of profits
I'm happy, and im now looking for a 997TT or a Gallardo to rebuild (I will try to keep it this time)
Me and the new owner (he dont want to be on internet so I masked is face)

My hat is off to you. I love a project too (although this will be my first car project). I am a woodworker but also a long time BMW Car club member. I am also a PCA quest member. I live in Socal. I am considering a project just like yours However the car is bit better condition. I think all I'll need is an engine and tranny etc. I hope to document the process on Rennlist as well. Look forward to your progress.
