Just been reminded of this awesome creation on ClubGTI...  Looks fairly stock there, doesn't it? Subtly wider arches and some gold detailing. However:   That'll be a 3.3litre porsche 911 Turbo lump in the back then   The floorpan hinges with hydraulic rams to allow access to the motor, you wouldn't normally drive it like that! I want...  Franco Sbarro, I salute you. |

And my mechanical skills aren't really up to recreating it out of mine But I can daydream *drifts off to thoughts of being behind the wheel, ears filled with aircooled flat-6 thrum and a huge grin on face* |

His factory unit is about an hour and a half from my house. There are moulds and bucks for various show cars and what have you strewn about, up poles and fixed on walls in an ‘arty’ fashion. I don’t think he builds his own cars any more but there is some work going on there, and the factory is open as a tourist attraction!
I will go and have a look sooner or later.
