Andreaz, is this what you're after? How much time do you want to spend on this thing, and how good are you at welding?

Cory! thank god...
Yes iam ok with all welding and metalwork. Do you have all that in paper or filed somewhere iam curious to see it! Looks very interesting.

Andreaz, Where are you located?

Iam from Finland.
But anyway, if someone have something Cory maybe? please send me email about it all. --> connyandreas@hotmail.com

To do what I did will absolutely require you to modify the body and take away your back seat. Which look are you going to have when you're done? Standard, or modified?

Hi,
Absolutely modified, because replica cant be like original never. There is way too big hole between replica looking like original issues, i don't believe in replica standards at all as some people might see them.

Original is original, and money what i spend on this...I can buy better original cars than spend it on replica. So let say iam making new car with respect of porsche look.
Umm that was sweet.
I don't know but it is not going to look like its 50 year old and just out from porsche factory with fibreglass body and technical instruments from 2020...you know..

I am using plans from Rorty Design in Melbourne. something you can fab easily enough yourself in either the mid engine as designed or rear engined using the rear frame section from a Beetle from the torsion tube back. Note that this is a Beetle chassis and needs to be shortned for the Speedster. Drop the hospital headboard and integrate a roll bar/dash hoop to suit the Speedster body.

In my case rear engine Subaru power and a 915 gearbox but the options are many.

Here's one from Vintage Speedsters website.

Only if you reverse engineer from the 356s do have a chance of making a frame as strong or as light.

The germans were and are very frugal with sheat metal and frame metal always concidering the weight of every peace.

I still beleive it can be done. Cory's is the closest I've seen yeat.

If you were to closy duplicate a 356 frame and pan then refine it to up to date suspecion parts with all the goodies I would be super wicked.
