To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.
My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? |

If you have to ask, it's going ruin there whole experience. I would guess if you supply the ready to bolt in engine/transaxle package, with all of the assorted hardware, (oil tank, lines, cooler & thermostat, gauges, harness, exhaust system, engine sheet metal, etc.) you are looking at $15-18K to put it all together.
Where do you draw the line? Brakes? Suspension? Wheels? Chassis reinforcement & rust repair while the engine/transaxle are out? It is indeed a slippery slope. But, when all done, there is nothing like driving a Six. My wife thought I was absolutely nuts when I told her I wanted to do a Six from the ground up. She told me to just go buy a new 911 Turbo coupe. I told her that was not what I wanted to drive. Where we live we see turbo coupes all over the place. Not even worth looking at. I love my Six and enjoy driving it or just seeing it in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |
