This car has been a very long time coming, like 13 years. It’s almost ready to go out for the interior probably next week. When I started working on it it was basically the body so its nice to see it finally together. ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche001.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche001.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche002.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche002.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche003.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche003.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche004.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche004.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche005.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche005.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche006.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche006.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche007.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche007.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche008.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche008.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche009.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche009.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche010.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche010.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche011.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche011.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche013.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche013.jpg) ![http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche014.jpg](http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/mcooper87/Porsche014.jpg) ---

Wow gorgeous 356 cab. Is it an A? (I’m not fantastic at telling the difference between A/B/C) ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > Wow gorgeous 356 cab. Is it an A? (I’m not fantastic at telling the difference between A/B/C) Yeah it’s an A but its not a cabriolet. Its a convertible D which was kinda the car that replaced the speedster, very light with not much sound deadening. ---

It should be back in the owners hands hopefully before it snows. He will probably take it to a decent amount of shows around here. ---

Wait - is this shop downtown? I think we were right down the street from this when we did our pics last weekend… I remember seeing a 911 Targa out front and the white car’s rear end sticking out of the garage door. Hot ass car. That’s ballin’ right there. ---
