Thanks Mike

I pretty much have made this thing from scratch lol, buying in to own a 356 is not a cheap endeavour. The price of these car's has risen dramatically just over the time I bought mine, that's not just 356's any aircooled porsche's.

good luck with the project mike, it surely can't be as bad as this was, I'm looking forward to follow your progress

You are doing such a great job on this one Neil perhaps you should make bodies for sale!

Cheers Charlie

made a start on the front panel so i can align the guards/fenders between the doors and front panel, to check how the body lines flow.

they have lots of curves! lol, a pain in the backside really

the front panel is coming on pretty well, could really do with making a thumbnail shrinker machine to be honest, and may well do... kerry's type 1a benchtop machine is in my thoughts!
