LOL just noticed there's actually some 914 content on this thing. The seats are out of a 914.

Don't like the real thing like this just as much.

If I can I will beg to differ and this is the chance. If the donor car was a piece of rusted up scrap and it was ready for the furnace then this FG deal is a great thing. This car is rust proof where it counts now and hopefully, it will have another 40 years of service for the owner. I love roadsters and if the price was right, I'd get the darn thing. Still ain't no 914 though and money could be spent, on a 914, in a wiser place.

Those were actually a pretty quality kit car, from what I understand. But style-wise, its awkward....

I know where there is an unfinished one, been sittin' for years. I drive by it all the time.

EDIT: I just looked at the ad for that car. I've seen that one in person and its actually pretty sweet. But yeah, its still awkward.

Looks like it could make a good conversion as a jacuzzi.
