I'm going to see what parts I can source between now and end May but I'm not going to custom as not the right thing to do. As engine is already a replacement from 1994, I might do something with that but that's about it. I did love the chrome porsche wheels on the convertible but I have no idea where to find a set like them as it's the first time I had seen wheels like that!
