Hello everyone! I recently sold a 1984 911... and now picked up a 1995 968 "barn find". It is in pretty rough cosmetic shape... sitting out in the Texas sun the last 12 years, not started or run since original owner fell ill at that time. it is very "sun burnt", both inside and out, but otherwise seems to be in good shape. I will be diving into the mechanics first... seeing to what extent damage may happened to the motor... no doubt will need many seals, etc... but hoping not a complete rebuild! It is a unique Porsche car... I have owned 6 911's over the years.

Yes, fix the 968 mechanically for sure. Texas sun and heat, so after the diagnostics, you might start with all the belts as the 968 is an interference motor.
When the time comes for cosmetics, some we know have/have considered wrapping (me too) their cars. Fairly reasonable price wise (especially if you do the work, yourself), can try out a different color, much faster than paint shops these days it seems.

Welcome aboard! As you see, plenty of people already leaping to your side. As Tejon says, don't fire up the motor until you've changed the timing belt. Good luck
