I would stick with it. Think "Long Haul". Prioritize the work that is needed and put a plan together to at lest get the car on the road and driving it daily. You can save on parts by avoiding OEM Porsche and doing the work yourself can save tons of money. You should also have a 2nd car to rely on while the Box goes through a quasi-restoration. Learn to embrace and enjoy working on it. I bought a 2004 in pristine shape, but I still spent a significant amount of money doing preventative maintenance like IMS, AOS, RMS, Brakes, Rotors, Oil, Filters, etc.

I love working on this bugger and I'm by no means a master mechanic. The members on this board are truly amazing resources who are free with their advice and wisdom. This is almost a support group for Box Addicts!!!!

Persevere, you will get to the light at the end of the tunnel; and it won't be a train!!
