Well sort of new | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hi All,
After commenting about widebodies looking WRONG I have just made a hypocrite of myself by purchasing a RHD (I live in Oz)widebody of indeterminate parentage fitted with a 2 litre type 4 kombi motor.
Purchased the car from a mechanic who runs a performance car business so plenty of things to fix up-you know the kind of little things that mechanic/owners don't notice like the battery being flat, the bonnet not closing, the high mounted stop light lens missing,no hood fittings or windows, wiring under the dash looking like an explosion in a wire factory, missing windscreen wiper blade assembly etc etc.....
It makes my Apal speedster look like a Rolls Royce by comparison. Nethertheless, I have glimpsed the potential lurking within.
Now comes the hard part, the 911 Carrera 3.2 and Apal have got to go.
(The car is not the orange colour it appears in the photos, it's Guards Red)

Very COOL Phillip! Us widebody guys forgive you for your WRONG comment. Now get rid of the bumpers with nerf bars and post some bigger pictures.

Finally, someone else on here with high-top seats!!!!

Nice looking car, Phillip - Good for you! The more wide-bodies the better!

Mine has kind-of evolved over the past ten years......

Hi Troy,
I hope to emulate that photo of your speedy at Dusk/dawn with the headlights on, in my own car.
That photo's a cracker !
