I have been recently exploring the purchase of a Speedster Conversion car. My only concern is being happy with the quality of a kit conversion. I have seen many conversions in my day and feel concerned about the purchase.
I presently own a 2000S Boxster and a 2000XKR Jaguar and have owned a 1992 C4 911 and a 2000 Boxster, not to mention a 2001 twin turbo Lotus. As you can see I have been spoiled with very nice, but very expensive toys.
I am trying to downsize (the Boxster S and Jag are both for sale) and I am trying to find a fun second car for less than $20K. I have always loved the 356 speedster look and knew I would have one some day. The conversion sounds like a great alternative to an orignal 356, a newer vehicle with a lot less cost than an original.
How is the fit and finish and dependability of a conversion?
Any advice on researching and making sure I get the best possible deal?
Any advice is appreciated.
PS: I am also interested in trading the Boxster or Jag for a speedster.
