Hi,
I am new to this group. I am in the process of purchasing a Porsche 550 kit, my dream car. I would like to know if there is anyone else out there with one. Years ago I built the Porsche 718 Spyder, it was a great car too. But the 550 is my dream. I cannot wait.

Re: PORSCHE 550
The 550 is one of the best looking kits out there in my humble opinion. Keep us posted.
p.s. Go introduce yourself in the "New Members" thread, before one of the Forum ballies has ANOTHER hernia about it....

Hi Rodger,
I am also busy getting ready to purchase a 550 spyder kit. Please keep us posted.
How far have you planned, what type of engine will you be running?

Re: PORSCHE 550
Took these pics at Porsche Center Jhb last year, initially I thought it was the real thing - but it is a replica. Just to show you how it CAN be done!

Re: PORSCHE 550
Thanks for posting them again Pine. You read my mind, was just thinking about that car.

Re: PORSCHE 550
Excuse my ignorance, but is the car a mobile coffin? l mean, if it were to roll, just once, would the driver strike the ground with the head, or do these things get fitted with roll-bars?

Re: PORSCHE 550
Alas, i'll have to wait a bit longer for this to become a reality!! This will be my next project if money will allow!!
Rodger, if you dont mind, could you PM me details of the cost etc. If it's from Replicars, i only have the old price list.
