Rustiest Porsche I've ever seen!

I like to follow some of the BaT auctions in the US ... especially as they have some level cars on there but occasionally they get something which divides opinion ...

I know the early 911 market has gone daft now but what would a company charge to do the bodywork on this car? Just for my own interest really - I have no idea of the man hours involved for something as labour-intenive as this. Are the panels available or would they have to be fabbed from scratch? And if they are available the cost would not be cheap I guess ...

I saw a rusty gold/beige Porsche for sale by the side of the road down the Pacific Highway over 20 years ago and it was a few thousand dollars - it was an early 70s one from emory, so not THAT early. I did toy with the idea of bringing it back but it was too much hassle and anyway, I was on holiday ...

That boat has well and truly sailed now ...

[Hi]

Panels can be sourced quite easily.

My friend has this much rustier porsche - it was not intentionally made to look like this, it is the result of a fire and has since been mechanically restored but not cosmetically as you can see!

Certainly a case of "Where do I start?".

Or maybe even "Do I?"

That one MUST be too far gone sim, surely.

I've no idea.

There was an article with the photos, but I can't remember the details.

If it has some race history or was a mega rare model, someone might have took it on.

Watched an episode of Jay Leno's garage a couple of weeks ago, and Jerry Seinfeld had a lovely black 356 that was allegedly worth $1million, so the numbers could stack up.

Here are some more photos.
