Building a V8-powered Porsche 911 Turbo is difficult.

Building a V8-powered Porsche 911 Turbo and retaining the all-wheel drive system is borderline impossible.

Building a V8-powered 911 Turbo with AWD and hundreds of pounds less weight while retaining the HVAC system all for under $35,000?

Cool project. Just goes to show you that with the time, money, fabrication ability and tools you can do a lot with cars.

I'd point out that this is pretty much a low-budget project. At least, as low-budget as anything made by Porsche can be.

The guy's other car is a fox-body Mustang that looks like it's been in an accident. Doesn't stop it from outrunning Ferraris, though.

And there's a lot of Ferraris in Saudi Arabia.

Well, when you do all the fab and work yourself the cost goes waaayyy down. When you hear about these custom cars at shows like SEMA where they say they have $1,000,000.00 in the car, most of it is labor for fab work and labor for the install, it's not the parts.

I'd like to see it run, doesn't look like he's quite finished yet.
