You wanna see the smoke poor out of it when she's running :roll:

Thinking about putting a VW lump in while I save up (or wait for the lottery win) to get her back on the road :lol:

Interesting car and RHD. The front has no horn grills it looks early 356A?
but it has some B or C doors or windows?

Hope you get in on the road to enjoy! ( even with a VW engine)

Evening all,

It's a 1960, so a B with a fibre glass front end !?! after a dink in a previous life !!!

So I apprecaite it's worth next to nothing to a porsche'ophile . . . BUT hey I wouldn't ever be in a position to have an orginal one financially so :P :lol:

It has the original engine, but like I say I aint set financially to have it rebuilt so thinking a VW motor is the way to go.

Has anyone done this on here ??

Few hurdles I believe to get it sorted. I.e. tinware, clutch and flywheel, throttle linkage ?!?!

Any pointers would be most welcome :lol:

Hi Milly
the engines need not cost a bomb to fix and do you want some tail lamps and a number plate lamp for your car , Bill

Hi Milly
here are a couple of pictures of the tail lights ,they are not in bad nick and I have some lenses as well, Ithink I have a half decent replica number plate lamp and there are more bits and peices kicking around , don't get shot of anything until your certain you don't need it , as for flywheels they can be bought new , the last one I got was one hundred and thirty quid , I think, there are lots of bits out there you just have to get out and about and keep your eyes open , Bill
