Whilst I obviously hope that yours is all good, I wonder how many people think that they have a car like that when in actual fact they dont. Mine was a well-used and well maintained car. All of the previous owners have spent the money suggested by the specialists that looked after the car and the service history shows this. In many cases they have spent far too much.
This car showed signs of needing sills in 2011 and it was entrusted to a specialist in Cambridgeshire, who subbed the work to a local bodyshop. The previous owner paid for metal but he received a lot of filler and lies. In 2014 I noticed a white chip at the bottom of the shiny red sill - the writing was on the wall. Careful inspection suggested one outer sill, one section of sill where it was intact but not great and a small floor repair were required. Unfortunately the people entrusted didnt do what they promised and the car ended up being stored inside for four years. It later transpired that for most of this time it was actually outside!
Move forward to October/November 2018 and the car was moved to covered storage in a friend's barn (that sounds so easy - after repeated promises to start, followed by repeated excuses and bullshit, it came to a head and the bodyshop owner threatened to 'push the car down the road with the keys in' if I didnt immediately remove it. This brought everything to a head and extreme violence was threatened in return [out of character but Im big and I meant it and you can only push anyone so far...]. He backed down and I had the car moved to storage the following week). I approached an off-radar Porsche specialiser (as opposed to specialist, which would be misleading) and he came to look at the car in the barn. We now needed inner, intermediate and outer sills, into the floor on both sides, the floor where your outer heel rests on both sides (previously only the driver's) and work to the A-pillar base on both sides. Added to this, which wasnt visible when looking in the barn, a lot of work around the rear suspension mounting points (which had been previously filled - possibly by the cowboy in Cambridgeshire).
It is now something like a tank, with new sills made in far heavier gauge steel and new floor pieces integrated, which replicated the original profiles. I dont have diamonds, but the entire sill is jackable! I have new 'jacking' points all around. The rear wing has been restored using repair panels that I had already. Both wings need the bottoms repairing and the near side wings also needs its front edge remaking where an insurance bodyshop repair had stared to corrode from the inside out.
The car is going back in two weeks to have the battery tray replaced and to have the rears of the rear wheelarches remade, at which point it will be structurally as good as new. It still looks like it has been left outside for years, but Im more concerned about the cars integrity than I am its coachwork, for the time being.
I had intended to use relatively cheap Porsche panels for everything apart from the outer sills (because theyre an accident repair panel they include a lot of door shut which we never need, making them a waster at their new inflated prices). Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding there and unbeknown to me, Des started and completed the work using fabricated replacements. No pictures either, but with most restorers you want these for your own piece of mind, more than to show a prospective purchaser. I know that Des cant actually do a bad job so I wont lose any sleep over it.
Now: a quandary. I have the original all-good fully electric Script interior, which I can keep in. I have as-new black electric leather Sports seats with matching vinyl rear to match, and I also have the rear 'squab' removed from my CS, and Im unsure what I will fit. I also have two rollcages: the first is a homolohated SD P18 (now sold as the P018 and not homologated) which is a conventional 6pt, and the second is a new P013 13pt-er. Im like a child in a sweet shop: ideally I will only have the rear section fitted permanently and the P18 is probably more suitable, but the 13pt rear is SO because racecar!
or maybe most of us! ...... if that makes you feel a little better
at least you have one! 
I spent nearly that much on my 5 series BMW 2 years ago just becuase the battery in the key went flat and corrupted loads of sensors and components on the car which refused to give any ignition untill they were changed and reprogrammed to the new key
