    As someone who is restoring an old car myself, I don't know if I tell you congratulations... or that I'm sorry for you!🤣
    But I think you've had a great first step, just by cleaning up the car the best you could. In most videos, people tries to first start those barn finds covered in dirt, without even changing the oil, which is the cheapiest thing and can save your engine from a disaster...
    Good luck and best regards from Brazil!

      My bike was a 125cc tho, but i used it every day until it finally broke xD

    My suggestion:
    Get a spacious protected shop.
    Get several shelfs.
    Get the mechanical manuals for parts, procedures and torques. Porsche can help you.
    Get the proper tools.
    Disassemble as much as you can to clean, de-rust, replace or restore by parts.
    Use the shelfs to classify, label, keep or replace by part nr.
    Plan you work, work you plan, piece by piece, system by system.
    Over all...:
    Try to not convert your 911 jewel in to a VW, altough they have the same father.

      Don't say that, it's a sin.
      Before any mechanical rotation of the engine a oil change is recommended with carter examination for debris and coals.
      Old oil is water-saturated, so after the first minutes of being shaked in a warm running engine it will emulsionate to loose main lubricant and cohesive properties. You will terribly damage cilinders, piston bearings, camshaft, everything that needs lubrication in that precision jewel.
