OUTLAW 356A
Just a bit of a sleeper.
Before anyone goes on a Porsche rant on destroying a great specimen I would like to point out my top 10 list for why one would "do such a thing."
#10-I inherited it, I don't have the kind of money, like some, to go out and buy one to fix up, and no she is not for sale.
#9-It is a single family owned car and the original owner went from a stock 1600 to the S90, so that is where the idea came from.
#8-Have you seen the cost of Porsche period correct parts for the 356A?
#7-Because the people who complain about not going stock and keeping it orignal never seem to offer the cash to help make that happen, so put up or shut up.
#6-Dr. Porsche had a great idea and design, but even he (one might think) liked originality and change, hence 356 Pre-A, A, B, C, Coupe, Roadster, Speedster etc) HMMMMMM.
#5-The blending of new Porsche inginuity with an old Porsche 356 is still pure and true to it's heritage.
#4-I can use the replaced / removed parts off her for generating cash to complete her; she pays her own way.
#3-It's better to have a Porsche daily driver and drive it than to have her & wonder when someone else will fix it for me.
#2-Part of the agreement when she was passed on to me from grandpa was, promise me you'll drive her and use her not just put her somewhere and look at it.
#1-Because, It's MINE!!!!!!
Back to reallity,
Okay, I guess I am leaning this way. Here are some of the modifications I am using or planning to use:
