Hello

Post by Paulvx »

Hi All

New to the forum so thought I'd say Hello

I'm seriously considering a 356 rep not for any other reason than I like the shape I need a hobby (I've built a ginetta in the past and a couple of fast road b series engines, couple of ztec/ duratecs and a 289 v8). Until a recent burglary I had a new S5 cab :( but now going to buy a shed for work/ taking my twin boys to nursery and have a toy in the garage.

I'm completely new to the porsche/ VW scene but I've done a bit of research - more to do!

Spec I'm thinking is speedster clinic kit but I want front and rear wishbone suspension and discs all round. From what I can tell A type 4 engine is a good bet and I'd add EFI to that. Overall them will be subtle outlaw I think.

Things that concern me are choosing the right parts suppliers - getting the right engine/ engine builder and then getting the thing through the IVA in as close to the spec that I want it finished in - (not using enough donor parts and fuel filler through the bonnet are main concerns so far.

Once all the insurance is sorted the work will start in ernest

Any and all comments/ advice welcome
