With all respect but I think tb86 didn't make such a stupid comment.When I go through yours and Hoghead's posts,or at least what I can make out of it,this just looks like another slagging fest.The only words that come to mind are pot,kettle and black,and for sure they are not favourable for creating a new business opportunity.

Kaptainstingray Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Maybe both of you should first learn how to reply to a post before you gonna put together kit cars as you already made an unreadable mess of your posts. I only joined this forum because I dont like the way this guy is associating myself and my car with ripping people off Unfortunately some people who cant read or understand more than the beer label shouldnt involve them selves in more complicated stuff. IF YOU wanted to buy a kit car...well ...now you are warned As for putting a kit car together...Go to VR classic around page 60....many offers for my car around 1.2 million..... Not bad for a 60,000baht' 73 Beetle. BTW I have refused many offers over that...

WarpSpeed Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Decent looking engine, you building them yourself or farm it out? Is the exhaust ceramic coated or just painted? It looks like ceramic, who syncs the carbs for you or do you that too? Webers or Solex? Look like Solex..

Pots and kettles and any other rubbish dont come into it Ok lets stop arguing about nothing before it gets out of hand.What's the difference between your car and the silver car in the picture as the body is much wider and lower.You say you have wide body but it seems there is wide and wide according to the picture you posted.

WarpSpeed Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) You got Ceramic coated here or they are shipped in?

Well he answered that he opts for the classic style comparing the wide body to a "roof rack on a Ferrari" (personally I don't see it that way at all as a Ferrari is right in line with the wide body concept being a higher performance model) but for my tastes and purposes the wide body has it's certain appeal to be sure, I'd like to be able to see both up close to tell about the quality of either honestly and I don't see why anyone would limit themselves to strictly a classic market when there is so little change over to producing both.

The reason the 356 is a 'classic' is because it is the 1st mass produced Porsche.It is an iconic design and is regarded in the annals of motor history as such..this car has been reproduced in many models up to the present day..you can still recognise the cockpit of a 356A coupe in a GT3 .Whilst building the replica I have had suggestions regarding low profile tires.aluminium wheels.silver windows metal flake paint large exhaust systems etc...The car is a replica of the original..As Buitoni said the originalis the best..anything else just makes it a kit car.... Go to www.kitcarlist .com and you will see many examples of altered classics that dont quite look right. If Ferdinand Porsche had made the wide bodied rubbish it certainly wouldnt be the co.it is today. Actually I might go out tomorrow and put 16inch slicks on my pick up...not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Horses for courses, but what you should understand is that this car was Ferdinands first foray into car making and he was eventually forced into doing exactly that due to instability in the rear end of said cars just as both you and Hoghead have eluded to as a problem, now you've stepped heavily into my realm of the world...Every model after this one had a wider stance to provide stability... Given that Porsche just purchased controlling share of the largest car maker in Europe (VW) and thereby making it the largest in the world by volume as a joint corporation I'd speculate that the change didn't hurt Porsche too much in the long run..
