A friend's Porsche project

This is a really cool project - 914 2.0 will power it and the whole rear section will actually lift up toward the back. Using a 550 replica frame. What do you think?

All steel and all done by hand himself in his spare time - welding,shaping... That is the only current pic I have but I may have other "along the way" pics. This is about 1 year into the project. The full size picture of the one I posted is much better but was too big to post.

Here's a couple...

Kind of a Willy Wonka project... The back's actually a front, the front opens like a back...






Here's one of the mechanic working on the engine...
