My new project...
Excuse the shite $30 digi cam. Bought this off a mate who bought it from the guy who scored it at a council auction. I got it for a good price, but
not for free even tho the original guys probably got it for $20, LOL.
Has no motor, exploded clutch has made a mess of the bellhousing and it has 4 flat tires... woohoo! But the 14x6 wide 5 rims are in A1 conditon (for
sale atm, make me an offer) the doors open and close beautifully, chrome trim lines up perfectly, bonnet fits like a gem as does the boot (which
unfortunately has home made air vents cut into it)
Got an IRS/Balljoint pan coming together for it and am planning a tall ratio tough LSD 4 speed mated to a BIIIIG, blown, torquey motor.
What do you reckon ladies and gents? :vader

Wolf in old sheeps clothing.
Leave the body alone 100%.
Spend all your time on the mechanical. Over-engineeer the daylights out of it.
Ret the right stance so it looks glued to the road. Add some vintage performance wheels like BBS with gold centres.
Use 2 1/2 turbo muffler and straigh cut timing gears for a "don't mess with me" sound.
Do everything in the interior out of aluminium.
Put reflective tint on the windows.
Tinted headlingts and tail lights.
Rally car vents in the roof.
Early Porsche-style RSCS type duck tail to make room for the super charger.
That just about sucks up my creative juices for this afternoon.
The sky or should I say the wallet is the limit.

:o Geez dude, Sounds like you've been planning it for years, lol. However I'm envisioning a late 70's road racer look, but rattier?!?!
I have to do all the mechanicals first anyway. We could be moving soon, so I want the bug as is. I'm thinking two turbos, not super... Save the
supercharger and stashed type IV for the other halfs 356 
I do want old school wheels though. It's going to be a sleeper, 100%. So I'm thinking Magnesium Mahle Gas Burners.
