Could make a nice parts car if the price were cheaper. No way it's worth $1000.

It is in Austrailia

GO FOR IT! Life is too short to look for approval. You're going to enjoy the process. I've restored boats, cars, houses, you name it, and it wasn't always the best financial choice but it was the right choice for me. I took pride in every one of them and had fun doing it

not in the US,
but in Australia it certainty was cheap,
I think you guys in the US need to come visit and see how expensive a car hobby in Australia is haha
it is by far the cheapest boxster with a motor that I have ever seen,
remembering it had a complete motor with all accessories that I sold for $800 so pretty sure it was worth it,
I used that to buy a whole Audi 4.2 A6 for $900 which I sold $700 worth of parts off, free motor swap haha
the spare change went to buying a SMF conversion flywheel clutch for a 3L turbo v6 audi thus completing the conversion parts,
you cant buy a second hand trans for under 2k over here so I'm still in front,
it will always always be a bitsa but that's the fun,
got motivated and trimmed the front nose clip and welded back on, now looking less depressing...

A challenging project for sure. I will enjoy watching your progress. Safe travels.
