      like the coup better but this is how they should have built'em in the first place the finished look is so sweet. a car should make you ache with wanting even if you own it / this takes you there, very professional.

    I really enjoy how the builder always has a microfiber towel in his hands touching things up as he walks around. You can really tell how much pride he has in his work, and the love that he puts into the builds. It's amazing to have that level of intimacy with something you have created. Something a lot of people do not experience these days.

    Here's a news flash for all of the critics on here that don't like his design choices - He doesn't care if you like the color or his choice of rims. He built the car for himself and if he likes it that's all that matters. The car is designed to show off his skills as a designer/builder. If you want one in a different color pay him to build you one and pick your own colors.

      John Anthony , yeah! The smoke and unsync’d carbs really took away from the refinement the rest of the car shows. The sound and the smoke took me right back to my 73 914 2.0 with Weber 44’s. I think if he kept the carb look but run injection. That would make this car complete.

    A lot of the "little touch"-es that you like about the Spyder are actually in keeping with the factory original features of a real 550, e.g., the leather straps (but only on the rear deck), the inside door upholstery, and the outside rear view mirror housings. There's more.
