This video is unbelievable. Totally crazy on multiple levels. I just subscribed because I want to follow this project.

Anyone know what the car sold for?

He brought a Caymen back from the dead that was thrashed in his last project. As for this one, I’m not sure if he intends to send it to the UK or not, I’d imagine sending a vehicle with a US salvage title back to the UK to be driven and registered, would be iffy. But yes it’ll be fun to see how he fixes it.

He hauled bags of parts over from the UK. It seems he intends to fix it here.

If the factory Porsche engineers see this.....I'm betting they do something on the next version to not allow bump starting. I'd never heard of the pyro fuse, but it makes sense, and they really stuffed it way up in thee......so you really can't get to it. Apparently, it only disables the starter motor, but they (Porsche engineers) left on the fuel pump and computers when the ignition switch is in the on position. So yes, bump start.

Looks like ~$160K plus auction fees if my quick Google search is to be believed
