OK so a V8 is a really cool idea. Cheap, powerful, and long lasting. Great!
But that body, it's so small and impractical, and the panels are so expensive to replace. What say we take body, put it to one side (in case of subsequent restoration) and replace it with a cheap, easy to fix and readily available pickup truck body. You would then have a roomy, practical, cheap and easy to repair machine. Of course you'd probably have to change the wheels and tyres (fuchs would get lost under the huge arches) for some large chromy off roady style ones to balance up the 'look'. Top it off with a huge roll bar, some spotlights and some stickers that say 'thrust' or 'ram' or something and you've got the ultimate Porsche! Err… hang on
