Two Beetles and a Lindner Porsche with VW engine, a four person Porsche. Beginning fifties.

bad decisions make good memories.

I found a closeup, it looks like those kubels even took a pretty bad hit or were getting used for parts.

the one closest to the camera looks shot up. the one on the right looks clean. can't tell anything about the third one. but it looks like the scene was abandon pretty quick.

I would do this in a heartbeat but I imagine it's a pretty expensive setup.

there's a kit. its fiberglass. last i saw its about $400. but i can't imagine it sealing worth a damn so don't leave the car in the rain. or wash it.

maybe you can explain the copper-looking pipes? I think the angle and some mirror reflection on the cooling box is making it look odd but I can't figure out what I'm looking at.

I thought so too but it passes pretty much all the checks. Not to say it's not an old fashioned 'shop.

That's heartbreaking but I wonder what happened that three extinguishers couldn't put it out. It reads like a backfire but that thing went up like it was made of det cord.
