Oval Bugster

[volkdent]

I bought the online version. The interior is amazing, but it's clearly a street car that won't see much track time, like the Bugster, and I really wonder what the thought process was on leaving the rear edge of the rear fender as odd as they did. In the article they mention doing an early version, boy are they in for a surprise. Every one of these conversions I've seen have been Supers, the early body is soooo much smaller, like building a ship in a bottle!

Dave, what are your thoughts on aluminum exhaust systems? I'm sure they would have a hard time holding up on multiple rally stages, but what about a street car?

The details continue - gauge cluster now.

Cut the stock speedo ring and moved it over 1.5". It was really tricky because I couldn't put the cluster in level, didn't flow with the curves, and it couldn't flow with the curve because it would look too tilted, I ended up with a compromise between the two.

Front and rear latches will be controlled by stock solenoids. Deepest part of front latch aluminum will be embedded in fiberglass to bond it to inner hood surface.

Dirt is still being moved on our hillside, should have a flat spot to build a 26'x40' shop next week. 0 progress on this project, of course things take more time than you expect to get rolling.

Here's a shot of a Super/Boxster S from Sweden, hope to be doing this in my bug next year.

A bit off topic but that porsche look alike track car is an awesome built as well!
