356 Speedster REP

Post by Elvis »

I was on way to Mozi about a year ago , chatting about cars.I was telling
my friends dad about my 58 split. He told me he built a Porche 356 rep he built
15 years ago. I though it was a spider so did not give it much thought,
About a month ago i went past his house to have a look . Wow i wanted it.

It had been standing or 10 years.So after some talking we came to an agrement. It was
hardley used because the gears gave him a problem from day 1. but most the stuff was
new from ground up. Its short a few badges and beedings. Does any 1 know were to get rep
stuff? also seats are terrible.

Nice...................welcome to the speedster crew.

She looks nice, what engine does she have? For beading trim (hip trim, buy a beetle set up, they work great and are about R200-00, you have to trim and play around a bit, but it looks the part and is a fraction of the US stuff.

Regarding the seats, you should be able to get speedster seats from replicars in jhb........I find the speedster seats the best option, holds you snug and drops you low.
