  1. Haha they are so beautiful! I know its alot of money but if you do it properly its like buying a house and restoring it, it cant really drop in value .... unless you do a really bad job
     
  2. Think ive just had a little accident ...

    They can drop in value and classic cars often do, it’s absolutely not a guarantee you will get your money back never mind turn a profit, budget £60-90k for the resto. I know a guy who used to restore cars used to make £50k every time, the market dropped, he had a half done car with £50k invested, he couldn’t get £5k, it sat in his workshop for years and years

  4. All about keeping an eye on the market aswell i wouldnt put 5k into a car that was only worth 3k, as i say it would be a long term thing, they rise and fall but will usually hold their money in the long term
     
  5. Join the 356 lot on face book. Lots of info might be a bit biased
    You could just buy this kit from the guys that run it

  9. 100k would nt even get ye a proper one ,early 912 is a better way to go ,

  10. 912 prices have gone skyward massively tho as well over the last few years ... it’s the availability and cost of parts that is the killer ... I think because the massive rise in 911 prices it’s dragging all the Porsche marks up with it ..
    I’d say its cheaper to drop 100k+ on a 356 than it would be to proper restore one .
