That's right. So he's looking at 4k Euro (17,500 US?) just to get it rolling. Seems an axel is in order.
I wouldn't put 10 Lira towards that. That car will never be a Porsche again unless it's a total rebuild as a track car.

Did not the know the conversion rate was to that point. But yes I would suggest parting it out, top and engine seem to be good.

That is a high premium to pay on the island, that could buy a practically new 987 base here. I am detrimentally sorry for you loss, hopefully some people from your area can suggest parts places, idk about shipping internationally but check out suncoast Porsche. And pelican parts.

i dont know guys how you can help, but i stayed all night, and managed to get every single part to fix my porsche, today i have a meeting with the guy who will put it in a special machine with lasers to check what moved (chassis etc..),
the cost of items needed is 2000 euro, including shipping, i am short 1000 euro. i hope nothing gets sold by then (saving this money).
as i said i set my mind to it, i will do this.
