    Awesome. I would bet that they could sell a small run of these for $$$.

    "Bilbo Baggins Rides!"

    In hindsight maybe they should have subdued the curves to account for the increase in size.

    The proportions no long work on a car of that size, very cool craftsmanship though.

    keeping my Replica, or tribute... whatever.
    At least the size, weight and engine... is closer to the original. Mine have the 2.1 VW in it. Drum brakes and five bolts wheels. Close enogh for me.

    That looks like a ton of fun. Do you have any more pictures to toss in here?

    Not sure why they put to stock gauges in the glove box. I asked Excellence, no reply.

    Early Beck. 2.1 VW/ drumm brakes.
    I switch the steering wheel for a more firm, Nardi.
    The windscreen I will keep the 356, to be able to use the top. (that I never used)
    When I got it have a bad cd player on it... I replace for a more... old style (customautosound)... not what I would do but since the damage was already done, why not ? Plus this car on saturdays morning, back roads and old Rock music rolling... it is fun.
    It is one of the best fun for the money I ever got.

    How much more is it for all rotors? Wouldn't you want that safety?

    I have driven an old drum brake Mini before and it was flat out scary for me. So useless at stopping it was like dragging your feet on the ground like the Flintstones.

    Need them to monitor all the Boxster systems, CEL, etc... can't do that w/ the old gauges obviously.

    He didn't want to put the Boxster gauges in the binnacle, also for obvious reasons.

    I'm wondering if he drives with the glovebox door open...

    If Shaquille O'Neal ever regretted not being able to fit in a 550, he now has the answer.
