Erm..... technically quite well finished.
And that's it for the nice comments. The flipside is "Terrible wheels with massive clearance, horrible arches, tacky 356 bits stuck on, looks like a kitcar made in a lockup behind a council house out of Sierra bits"
I don't give three trumps for the 'classic' status and the sacredness of a 356, if it was well done it'd be brilliant. But it's not, it looks like a nice R/C Car chassis and they've plonked on any old bodyshell with the right wheelbase.

What a shame, 356s are not meant to have a v8, in the same way as a cute bunny shouldnt have a machine gun. seem wrong imho.
looks well executed mind, shame he got bored when it came to wheels/stance/styling and just bashed on what ever came to hand.

FUGLY!!!
only thing that works for me are the mirrors,the rest is a well engineered abortion.if this was a real 356 people all over the world are going to burst out crying when they see it.

Not my ting either, thought it was just some obscure kit car at first look. Porkers need to be sleek.

One wonders what it would look like without that front bumper thing going on, properly sized wheels at a nice ride height to fill the arches..
As it is, it looks like its overweight... which I guess is exactly what it is.

looks like the firebird rotted away and the only body had around was porche one so put wide arches on it to make it cover the the wheels shoulda kept the rotten firebird body
