As much as I hate them chopping up the car, it looks cool.

And to us haters, you have to admit we all probably wonder if it handles well.

Positives:
Look at the negative camber on the front end! It handles like a dream! Ha!
Also, I like the floor delete options behind the seats. How many p-car owners have spent countless hours replacing missing floor panels? Something rattling in the rear end drivetrain?- just stick your hand back there and find it. This dude singlehandedly turns common problems into a time saving opportunity.
Negatives:
Potential toe out issues. Also, shifting looks difficult though as the shifter is in front of the cowling. Concours judges will have wanted the dirt/grease/rust on the donor chassis cleaned off better.
Suggestions:
If he'd push the engine back between the front wheels and the front cowling I bet he'd have a perfect weight distribution. Also- I'd use a 951 rear transmission/ torque tube setup. You can't just redneck a porsche. One must use German redneck and unnecessary expensive parts.

Porsche's latest test mule for their future heavy duty pickup truck. They wanted something to compete with the Ford 350!
