Now for something completely diferent .....
Hey , here's an interesting thought . Has anybody seen or thought about doing a GL older 356 Porsche . I was on thesamba.com classified ads , and saw some 356 shells that might make good candidates for something like this . I was thinking a big type IV engine with a 5-speed , lowered with 4 wheel discs and big rims . Any takers?

Those are so awesome ! thats exactly what I was thinking of . I wish it was an original idea of mine , but at least there are some cool GL Porsches out there (I guess Porsche would be the original GL right from the factory)!!!! Those are all replicas , aren't they?

I am doing this very thing here in Thailand, and just sending my flared Speedster body out to get a mould made so that I can make a Kevlar one. No experience here in carbon but it would be nice if I could get an experienced subcontractor to do the work.
Am now looking into a 356 coupe roof mould so that I can make my wife a coupe or maybe a coupe like removable hardtop if I can figure out how. All the bits are in hand now and once I move the end of the month construction begins: Modified Rorty tube frame with Beetle rear engined design so that I can use the VW registration. Would go mid engine but registration is impossible. A-arm front suspension and rack and pinion steering Coil over suspension Suby 2 liter, single turbo, J spec engine x 240 Hp 996 brakes all round 944 narrow aluminium rear trailing arms 915 LSD gearbox with Kennedy adapter 17" turbo twist wheels Drivetrain shifted forward 75 mm to reduce polar moment of inertia Labour here is pretty cheap and I may be in a positon to export glass or kevlar bodies in about 6 months. No idea on cost as of yet Robert
