Just some thoughts to consider ... why all the work to this car? Was it wrecked or just totally abused ? If so what else will go wrong in near term (engine? tranny? 25+ little crap stuff?) ... do you have a great mechanic close that will work with you on labor and parts costs - or are you a mechanic ? Might seem like a cheap deal now but in long run might be better to find a car in great shape and well cared for, then work the price down - less expensive in the long run ...

Then again if you can pay, say $10k for this one ... and that is afforable to your bank account ... pull the trigger ... anything major in the future, just sell the car for "parts" ...

I have "restored" several 911 over the years ... buy the better car ... I found it will be less expensive in the long run ...

These were problem cars. I have a few friends in my Aston circle who swore off them because of this car.
