What's this worth then ?
Discussion
I'd just like to (re)introduce myself to the forums.
Pic is of my car that had been in storage since 2008. Last year I had the idea of re-starting my relationship with Porsche and thought I'd look into buying a GT4. OPC wasn't very helpful, - all sold out apparently. Did a trackday in the above, realised what I'd been missing and decided to recommission it.
I have all the bits missing 
GT3 is a solid idea and price wise relatively sane but in my experience no faster or and I doubt any cheaper to run ( on track). Car is mechanically sound and the shell was pretty solid. A rear quarter panel was replaced - this had been replaced before I bought the car and repaired twice due to contact with the tyre wall, - as it was more cost effective than trying to deal with the rust around the repair and getting a correct shape.
There are 3 "interesting" things visible on the pic of the shell. It's a 964C2 btw.

You're v.lucky starting with a blank canvas.
I'd be tempted to build something like this.

That Ruf is a lovely thing. I did previously look at turning into a "Yellowbird/964GT2RS" style car by going the turbo route but was talked out of it and stayed NA. In hindsight the sensible choice.
993KImbo The thread title isn't meant to be taken seriously. This car won't be to everyone's taste and might be worth nothing to 99% of the community. At least by your valuation it's gone up since I last used it.
r4 rick not my workshop. The GT3 v 964 pace on track thing will become clearer. I'm nothing special as a driver.

Agree re yellowbird I'd go for it! What Ruf are doing with 964s at the mo is just breathtaking. If I won the lottery and could buy one car for the rest of my days it would be this. Whole shell is CF! Gimmicky as it does not make the chassis stiffer as they state but the CF shell is beautiful. What a work of art.993KImbo The thread title isn't meant to be taken seriously.

In fact I've just changed my mind I'd buy this as my last car - its a bit special.
Screw it I've won the lottery I'll buy both!

That's exquisite.http://ruf-automobile.de/en/modell/ruf-ultimate/
I'm not adverse to carbon , most of the missing panels in my pic are carbon. I was talked out of a carbon roof and carbon wings. I also doubt if the increase in stiffness is relevant and the problem with wings is that weight savings are not huge, fitting is a pain and you can't get a panel beater to knock dents out of them.

Sorry. Fed up with valuation threads. I guess this isn't one.
I've seen a 964 today that's had around 100k put into it.
As yours stands now, about £20k?
depending on what you do with it, up to £125k?
Are you looking to sel before its finished?
Pretty close with where it stands so far but just needs paint and odds and sods fixings to finish. Mechanical mods have already been done over the years I've owned it. In 2008 it would have cost more to paint than the car was worth. The paint was unsightly but shell was basically sound and as a track car not my primary concern.I've seen a 964 today that's had around 100k put into it.

Not looking to sell but perhaps I should have storage insurance.
