Ohhhhh yes. 10 whole subscribers!

Good luck with the purchase!

I remember a few years ago a mate of mine had one and when he'd had enough he took it to WBAC and flogged it for £3k! It was fairly decent too.

Got any pictures to share of yours? Find a good specialist and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Normally i'd agree, but it does seem like a genuinely interesting project to follow

I mean, not for me personally because i dont care all that much about porches, but you know

If that's really his plan he's got the 'loss' bit right.

Guy buys old sports car, puts the journey on YouTube. Seems there is no need to be so dismissive. Hardly a novel idea, but could be of interest to anyone considering a similar ‘project’, so very much a valid Pistonheads thread.

[Prohibiting]

Interesting and need pictures.

[JCollins]

Fantastic thread. Pictures please!

Here you go, silver with a black interior, 147,000 miles

And as for me trying to get hits for my YouTube channel....then I must be going wrong somewhere

Erm...one of the front reflectors fell out this morning

[SnowStar]

Is your intention to run it for a year for as little as possible?

If not, there are much nicer wheels!

3k?? Was it a 996?

Yep, absolute budget...like a proper consumer test, cheap second hand hatchback or cheap old Porsche. Seriously, I hold my breath when I start it up...but I should stop red lining it, if only it wasn’t so terrifyingly thrilling!!

I'm half in the market for a cheap porsche and have seen that one floating about! mileage is certainly high but manual, cable throttle, coupe 996 is a definite win!

Facinated to see the progress!

Nice looking car. Dunno why it would need a wheel change, as someone mentioned, I think it looks great as is. Well bought ( hopefully! ).

[james_gt3rs]

6k wow, absolute steal!

[toastyhamster]

6k :-o

Watching with interest, plus subscribed. I'm in the market, I might have to revise my options if this works out!

Good luck!

Thanks dude! Hoping it’s a success and I just keep it, it’s never going to be one of those “appreciating classics” but for everyday enjoyment it’s gotta be a no brainer...or that’ll be the famous last words!
