I've seen pics that Starke have sent out to those interested and also more recently the WestCoast Customs car based on the Boxster coupe and can tell you, what Brian has developed is streets ahead.

Peterux, I've been a long term 356 dreamer and have owned an Intermeccanica speedster (early one with tons of original parts) and more recently a very highly specced JPS coupe (think new everything, 140bhp engine, leather interior, aircon, disc brakes all round, freeway flyer transmission) and it still was too much of a handful driving it in a straight line down the freeway at more than 55. What was worse was seeing a bunch of people in modern trashed cars driving by, as if it was nothing (while I was white knuckle riding it).

I would strongly recommend driving a 356 kit based on a bug down the motorway, before you fall deeply enough to let go of the cash.

For that reason alone, I think a Boxster base is a great idea if not bigger than the original.
