First of all, I don't think I should post it in the dream build up thread since I've actually have seen the actual car I'd like to build, I have some rough plans on what to do, and a wealthy uncle to finance me.
A little backround story: a few nights ago I caught the abandoned exotics thread and read ever single post on the link there, all 24 pages of it (right after I stopped oggling at that distracting avatar you all know and love). That night I went to bed thinking on how awesome it would be to come upon a nice 911 body.
I wake up the next day and go chase a guy that owes my dad a shit load of money (that's another story), on the way back to our house I spot the beast just sitting there, on top of two oil barrels. As we passed I took a few seconds to say something -I had told my dad about the night before on the web and how much drool was over the keyboard imagining a great car brought back to life with my own two hands-, he stops (almost skidding to a halt), asks where I saw it, and turns around. We get to the house and ask if it's for sale, the guy says yes: $4000. The body is in good shape, he has the engine and tranny, most of the interior, suspension, brakes.
Missing: electrical (everything, whole new instalation is in order), front and rear glass, targa roof, and the wheels.
Now, for all you knowledgeable sirs and ladies:

Now, for all you knowledgeable sirs and ladies:
- How hard is it to return this car to glory?
- Can I do it? (Electrical would be a pro job, as well as suspension)
- Is it hard to re-upholster seats?
- Would you do it?
