I have a couple decent 914 shells and a 3.3 turbo gathering dust. Assuming I could stuff the 3.3 into a teener, would there be a market for such a beast?
TIA |

Typically, will put more money into it than what you will get from selling.

If you pay a shop $200/hr no you'll be upside down.
If you are willing to pay yourself for labor then you will make $0-100/hr. |

At my shop, we have found it hard to make money building anything on spec. Cars, engines, etc. If we build custom for a customer, we are charging time and materials. If we build on spec, it’s very hard to get anything for the labor. I think this is pretty universal. I have seen shops build cars and they take forever to sell. If shops could build cars on spec and sell at the same profit as a customer build, they would. Other than the customer financing the build, building a car without having to take the customer’s wants and needs into account is way easier.
