It looks interesting with a fairly complete bodyshell although rusty, it must be one of the last of the drum braked cars in RHD any idea what chassis number? is it a UK (ie, rusty) car, or from a drier RHD country. Not for me though, I have my own problems with a RHD 356.
More details as follows:-
1963 model Porsche 356 B "Super 75" 1582cc
1st date of registration in UK = 01/04/1963
Right Hand Drive "" One previous owner (my cousin, I am now the second owner)
Chassis / frame number "" 122847 (matching number)
Engine number "" P704970 (matching number)
Colour "" White
Original Log book + new Log book + original Drivers Handbook + Technical Manual

chassis number 122847 would equate to having been built by Porsche Reutter in June July 1962 so it would have been around for some 7 to 8 months before being sold and registered in UK.
On a totally anorak point there were 2249 engines built for that model year against 1942 cars, what ever happened to the 307 extra engines?

go for it jason,i have seen a lot worse,shame its not a A
The truth is that this car is going to cost £60 to £70K to complete, possibly more. My advice would be to find a restored or usable car
now and enjoy driving it. Rebuilding / restoring this car will reduce your life expectancy and probably destroy your marriage / relationships.
If you have never rebuilt a car don't make this your first one.

I would think the body work alone at somewhere like Rober Gants will be in the order 65/70K - then you have the chrome, wiring and interior
could well be another 25/30k and that presumes you have all the bits. So in order of 85K by the time youve finised - and probably have to wiate three years for a car that would be valued at approx 50K
A far better prospect may be
