    Part of me can only wonder what they started with, the other part is amazed these panels were available and don’t want to think where they came from.

    "Fun Project" ??? o_O
    I wonder how many would find it "Fun" having to perform, let alone pay for the amount of work on the project requiring the shown quantity of replacement panels, along with the cost of them obviously, not to mention the amount of other/underlying work suggested by pictured replacement panels ?
    I'd imagine not for the faint of heart.

    At least it’s evidence that Dinos are now worth rescuing.

    There is a shop in the LA area converting a Dino GT into an EV right now.

    I can't wait for their excuse "it's all we could do to salvage this poor Dino!"

    I am a true hater on EV, and more so when it goes into something so pure.

    Not a fan either, just reporting the news.

    The only F-car based EV conversions I have seen were salvage 3X8 cars that were in serious fires and had no future outside of a dismantler. I am curious what the state of the car was, or if it is a genuine 2X6 Dino or 3X8 "Dino".

    The core appears to be a presentable and complete 246GT. They stripped all of the drivetrain out and were taking measurements to convert into an EV.

    What is Eurospares’ reputation with respect to supplying parts like these? Has anyone here had experience with them? How would they compare with Maranello Classic Parts? I may need to replace a body panel (not for a 246) so would appreciate any feedback,

    I wonder what the s/n is on this Dino GT? Sounds like it was purchased recently....
