My new toy...
My latest purchase in September 2002! Its a 1958 Porsche 356A. The body was restored 7 years ago, and the seats retrimmed, but the guy lost enthusiasm
and its been sat since, although he started it every 2 months. Its running and driving, fully complete and I'm in the process of rechroming,
reassembiling etc to bring her back to her former glory.
Cheers
Steve

That's going to be a nice ride, good luck. It appears to have a twin rear grills and wider front bonnet handle, sure its an "A".

Yep it sure is an A, its got the wrong bootlid (from a T6), and the chrome mold on the bonnett is from a B or C. Its got the low bumpers though that
denotes an A!
Hey can you tell me if your guy in NZ sells parts. I need a new front turn signal and a couple of other bits.
Cheers
Steve

356 parts
Steve I used www.klasse356.com and only paid $20USD each for rear light lenses.
Great fast shipping as well.
You could give the guys at www.platinumspeedsters.com a call but they will prob be
more exe.
Where are you located Steve?

Nice ride. Out of all the 356's I like the A's the most. Pure body lines. :thumb

Thanks for the links. I'm in Eastern Suburbs Sydney. But currently I'm working in Singapore, and then off to Ireland for a couple of weeks.
Won't be back in Sydney until end of October!!!
