Change in plans, again
Hey Guys, had plenty of time to watch bugs go by and think while I was trying to sell parts on Sunday. Made two decisions, I don't want to build a 59 GL, and I do want to build a 356 kit car GL.
I remember seeing some euro look 356's in my volks worlds, have to dig them up. I'm gonna take all my suspension stuff from the bug project and transfer it to a 356. Light car, big brakes on porsche hubs and wheels. Want to make it as race like as I can for the street. We'll see what happens. I'm gonna post my stuff I don't need on the for sale section, you guys get first dibs on any of it. Oh yeah, if there are any Porsche bits you guys are looking for, I'm going to the big Porsche swapmeet April 26th in Hershey, I can try and find anything you guys need.

i went through the same thoughts a couple of years back. i didn't have the money for it then though. i will probably be heading that way on the next project, whenever that is. that or i really would like a GL 356 couple. like this approach...

I found the picture I wanted last night, I'll post it today.
Should be easy, got the 944 suspension and pan to work on till I find the right deal on a body. CF and aluminum interior, 911 gauges, 16" porsche cup rims. I have all the parts, just need the body.

Damn, l love the web, sold 2 cars in one night last night, 59 and the 74, and closed a deal for a 2.0 for my camper bus.
Now onto the next projects, the 356 GL, and how should I transform the 73 camper to GL, (I do have a set of 6x15 fuchs, but I really need to sell them). I can at least get started on the pan for the 356, build the front and rear, have to wait on the tranny though, will have to shorten the pan, but don't know by how much.

Shoot, I should go buy lottery tickets. My first pair of 17" 993 wheels showed up today for the 911, they look awsome!
I must be doing something right. Now to just have someone give me a 356 body, I'll be in heaven.
