I wish I'd kept some of the Carbing stuff I had.
That 356 actually was highly optioned from the factory- fog lights, headlight stone guards, headrests, Coco mats, chrome wheels, chrome luggage rack, compensating spring, Blaupunkt Frankfurt, special paint. Been a while since I've seen a BT5 non-Super-90 with such an extensive options list. I have two '61 Super cases in my parts.
I can't decide if I want my next build to be a proper driver (i.e. built specifically for having fun on backroads) or an exercise in aesthetics. If I want a driver, I'm going to build an E36 coupe in the vein of a Peugeot 205 or 106 Rallye- minimum weight, fun engine, relatively soft, no-frills. If I want an exercise in aesthetics, I'm going to build an S13 hatch.
