I may have an opportunity to work for a car. The guy has a Ferrari BB512 that is half taken apart, he also has a 1980 Porsche 911 that has the engine and transmission out of the car. So both cars are taken apart. He wants the Ferrari put back together and is having trouble finding someone to do it for him. He once told me I could have the 911 for about 8 grand and I told him it wasnt worth it. The deal is, I put the Ferrari back together and he signs the 911 over to me. I would get all the parts with the Porsche. The 911 is an 80 as I mentioned, but it was originally a targa, now it is a cabriolet. They did a nice job of the conversion but being an 80 model, it will never be worth as much as if it were original. Should I even bother with the job or just pass on it. The 911 does need a lot of work also. The engine is in pieces 3.0 liter I think, and the car needs a few dents removed and then repainted. The Ferrari, has the drive line all installed but not connected up correctly and lots of small parts that I will have to scour a shop to collect them all. A dealer would charge him about 10 to 15k to put it back on the road. I think that is about all that I know about this so far. What do you all think?
