yes, it was a 356 speedster replica, but I sold it years ago now:


I will probably use coilovers, but in addition to torsion bars. I will be cutting through the torsion housing, cutting the central piece in half through the spline and then rewelding them inside each side of the housing so I can use swing axle torsion bars. That's what Mark thurston did on his Oval with G50 trans. I'm sure I'll add sprigns to the rear coilovers too but probably only 100-200lb..
