Ahh, I don't know anything about foreign cars and Porsche has never been my thing. Great history though.

To be honest, this is what I wanted to be Jr.'s first ride. Stick shift, either a mild SBC or a nice 4.3. Still wouldn't of limit the chances for him to jam out to Patadise by the Dashboard Lights when those times come along.

Some fun stuff we noticed right away

That's a lot of spacer under that thick wheel center

Doesn't everybody wire tie their battery cable to their aluminum fuel line?

Cold weld

More cold welds

Pretty sure something is missing here...if that Heim bolt comes out or fails, bad things are going to happen Also, ladder bars are not correctly installed in relation to ground

Guy said he built it all himself...perhaps worst of all is it's on an S10 chassis and the front track width is still waaay too narrow (like 8" inside fenders), even with 2"+ wheel spacers on both sides
