That looks very cool! That engine looks like it came from a long way west of Stuttgart though... ;D
Still, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for her American accent. Lovely.

Um, the original ones were spaceframed as well! That was the whole point of the gullwing doors, the sills were all full of frame tubing up to the driver's waist.  The original frame looks much nicer and is probably lighter, but I certainly wouldn't say no to a replica! That V8 would never do though, it would be better to have a straight 6 of some description. An M3 motor would be nice to keep it German, or a 2JZ-GTE for extra fun! |

That looks mean. Sod keeping the motor German, a mildly worked over 350 Chev will make as much power as an M3 engine with plenty more left to give.

Um, the original ones were spaceframed as well! Sorry for nitpicking but The American one isn't spaceframed, it's just a tubular chassis. www.georgecushing.net/Spaceframe.htmlAwesome though, even with the yank V8. |
