Comments on: “Outlaw” Porsche 356: The Ultimate Tough Customer http://www.porscheperfect.com/2009/02/20/outlaw-porsche-356/ Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:36:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John http://www.porscheperfect.com/2009/02/20/outlaw-porsche-356/comment-page-2/#comment-17823 John Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:31:30 +0000 http://www.porscheperfect.com/?p=415#comment-17823 I love the resto mod of any vehicle but these 356's appear to be ripe for this type of rebuild. I personally think that taking a classic like the 356 and adding modern safety and drive-ability features/products or even full blown performance upgrades like a 930 turbo engine and other tweaks to them is an important part of the car culture. I took a 1972 Ford Bronco and did the same type of thing. I took a fairly capable old school SUV and turned it in to a very capable machine with disc brakes, advanced suspension components and engine upgrades. It is my daily driver here the SF bay area and I get compliments constantly on it. So I am real proud of it. Thanks for this article it has definitely sparked an interest and I'll be looking to build my own very soon.

As a car nut from way back, I say, just pick one you like and stick with it.
