Sad day!

Hi guys

It is with a heavy heart that I have to sell my B reg 8v 944! It's currently parked in my wood working workshop as my Dad wanted to use his garage! Doh!
I now need to do wood work, our house needs 10 windows at least and I just don't have the room to keep it! It'll bring at least 15 years of Porsche ownership to an end. I started with a 2.7 911 and moved up to my 8v 944!!

I have totally loved it and never wanted to sell it but needs must.
I don't know what it should be worth but it was totally repainted about 3 years ago in the original white and looks stunning!
Everything that matters works but there are a few things that I have yet to fix including the rear wiper, front fogs and the passenger electric mirror.
But I have done a full service oil, filters etc inc belts, new front discs, pads and caliper over haul(front and rear). Entirely replaced the front bushes, fitted a 15k old radiator, new battery, new rear pads, stainless hoses, rebuilt the rear hatch lid so that it no longer leaks! Wow that was a mother of a job!
Fitted rear lap belts, also new rear wheel bearings, brake backing plates front and rear(Porsche ones!), made up new brake pipes etc...
Basically spent hours and probably £1000 on parts alown could be more but don't think I want to add it up!
I still have a slight oil leak which I have the O ring for and new rear anti roll bushes and drop links, hatch rams, hatch pins just never got to them as that was next years job!

Two things really, what is this now worth? And does anyone want to take it on as a nice drivable project, it goes really well and has only just done 90k with quite a large history file.
I also have a hundreds of parts from a car I stripped that can go with it to keep it going!
Cheers
Tim
Feeling sad!
 
to be fair, I do also have my Dad's old 1303 beetle, my 1972 camper and a pile of landy bits! so my wife does have a point but my defence has always been that none were worth any big money.
The camper is now worth real money so it's making my car hobby look expensive!
