For what its worth...I bought a 2001 boxster in feb with a blown engine for $2500 and then an engine for $2k thinking I would walk away with a car for less than $5K. 4 engines later (a couple of used engines were no good) I opted for a rebuilt and the car us now running. The car is probably worth about $8K but my total cost for the project is over $20K. At least it has a new engine and it is a fun little car...and my son now knows how to drive manual...dumb project in the end thinking I could get the car cheap. Live and learn.

I checked into options and felt Vertex was the best option. Unfortunately I have to get my current 911 project sold before I could move to this one and I think the 997.1 has been sold. But I'd like to know how your experience goes in case I come across another project of this type.
