Yes will be using the 944 as the registration donor vehicle
Two major components will be front and rear suspension and steering assembly, with officially a new chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer/ SPC
Hopefully the registration number will be based on the age of the original vehicle. Actually after the last countless years of dreaming and 6 years building a Q plate would not be a problem. Just means its made of different age parts which it is. I doubt most passer byes know what a q plate is, probably think is an old car
I have never intended the car to be a complete accurate replica, but more a case of what Porsche might have done if they carried on making the 356 model. Race inspired Big flat 6 engine, ST/ Turbo arches, stripped interior, huge brake stopping power, low cg, improved suspension. All noise and impression of speed. I saw my first 356 California widebody replica about 20 or 30 years ago at Newark kitcar show and now finally getting close to having my own.
The build thread really is a useful to document for what is a very personal journey. Record ups and downs, elements that went really wrong like my handbrake and elation first time I heard the flat 6 fire and run. A tool to think about what you want to do or not with your car etc. Also helps when you look at how much you have actually achieved over time. I find it spurs me on to get some work done so I can get an update on here. It is surprising how inspiring a "looks good/ well done" is.
