The seats were a bad choice. Late 60s looking seats in an early 80s looking car? But I can appreciate how clean it looks, even if I don't agree with the aesthetic.

I dont see any reinforcements for either the v8 or the convertable conversion...
Thats a cruzer.... Not a "drive me hard" driver... I'd have to do some serious tube framing to get me to feel comfortable driving that... Oh, I bet it sounds AWESOME in the passanger compartment with the engine.. I know it sounds cool in mine... Oh And I wonder about the condition of the interior...

My God! They cut away HALF of the wheel well! Is that structuraly wise? I've seen much better vents done. I agree about the seats. It needs a Dr. EVIL interior.

I've seen some where they cut two windows and welded in some screen. Looked much nicer.

Plus there's glass. No sound deading pad in the engine bay. Louder than a stock 914, fer sure, but probably not as loud as the convertible. Oh, and as for the body shop comment... kiss my asian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ... it won't be scheduled for the body shop for a couple more weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Getting bumpers painted, bubbling paint and door ding (from another car) resprayed. Jen BTW, welcome home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Thats a Beach Boys conversion, there is one similar to it down in Laguna Hills. I think its a little lighter in color though. The conversion alone is over $5k plus the paint and the cost of the conversion with out the engine is about $3500 so I would hope it would go for more than 10k.
