ok, so i want this to be my next car. can anyone tell me anything about this?

i REALLY like how the turn signals are gone. that was my biggest gripe with the styling of the 914.. they stuck out like sore thumbs. if anyone could let me know what rebody or whatever that is.. i would be forever greatful. also, if you have any information to similar rebodies, im interested. i was looking at the aero 994 kit, but it doesn't seem to be the kit above, and i dobut i can get just the front of it...

along with this, any information on a v8 swap would be helpful, because that seems like it would be ungodly fun. it was done in the $2003 grassroots challenge, so it can't be too terribly expensive to pull off. i have been told i need to stiffen the chassis, but the problem that arises with that is that i don't know how to weld. i have also heard that the v8 tears through the 901 trans like nothing...

if anyone can help me out on piecing together a daily driver... that would be awesome

tia, and i hope to become a part of this community soon!
