I believe it will fit with some adjustments but the braketry has not been designed or developed for the Boxter

How do you pick a replica in a lineup?

Not a problem. The kit can be bought for an MR2, easily found in the US where I’m guessing you’re based.

Why? He likes to drive his cars. They are not garage queens.

Seems so

Thanks Jeffrey.

This car will be used A LOT. This bloke is obviously no mug, he’s done his homework and he’s going to get a better car than the original at a fraction of the cost and it’s one he can use. Did you watch until the end? Anyway, What concern is it of yours what someone else spends their hard earned on?

Says the man quoting the oldest cliche in the Australian motor scene.

A few bob I’d dare say.

I’d like to film there one day.

Personally, I’d love to see a base or taxi spec 500 being given the Grand Tourer treatment, either a full resto or sympathetic clean up and mechanical overhaul of an original car. That’s takes a special kind of person though as most will see there’s probably not the value in the end product to justify the outlay. We’ll keep our fingers crossed though.

Thanks Kerry and I’m sure Dan will be reading the comments. He’s had a hand in a few Mustang restorations in his time and you might remember there’s one lurking under the covers in the shop right now. Back to factory look which’ll probably make a few US viewers teeth itch when they see the overspray.

Thanks Kerry. We all enjoy making these videos for you all to enjoy. I would love to come back to California as my last visit was 2009. Cheers Dan

Yup.

Glad you enjoyed it Statesman

And good on you Phil

‘course it is. So when you’re sat at the lights and it’s pulling off like the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive, you’re telling me your face won’t be beaming and you’ll turn to the driver and say, “it’s still a 500 though”?

Ha that's telling it like it is. Not everyone can afford an original car and if a replica done well still ticks the boxes for me

As long as owners admit their cars are replicas, there’s nothing wrong with them. The shell’s just another part and not much different to that of a real GT. It’s the go-faster bits that make the car a great tribute to the original.

I don’t think it is. It’s not a genuine phase III, but it’s built a lot better and more lovingly than an original. It also depends on your mindset. The real Phase III’s have been priced out of the market. I, personally would have a much higher regard for a car that someone has done up and is driving around, then one that’s stuck in someone’s garage out of sight. Really they’re all steel, glass and rubber. There’s nothing mystical or magical about them.

@@WesW3187 and from what I hear, this one's definitely got a life of use ahead of it.

It’s really quite stunning

Keith has been in touch to tell me he’s adapted the drivers seat position so there’s a chance I might get to pilot this beauty. Oh and the livery has been added. Stay tuned.

Thanks so much for your comment Kerry. You’ll be glad to hear there’s another video featuring Dan coming tonight.

I wish I’d dug deeper with the Force Seven here Wildman. Unfortunately it was the first car I did and had another 20 to get through in the space of an hour or so. FORGET Holden and Ford. This LEYLAND FORCE 7 is edit: THE MOST TRUE BLUE AUSSIE CAR .. EVER! ruclips.net/video/UWtUvYY85qE/видео.html

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Kippy. I’m hopping to get a run out in the car soon. Stay tuned

Put in an order

@@12cm32 hahaha that would make it super rare 😂👍

My pleasure!

Your problem is your taste is limited to high dollar motors. This is the poor man’s Porsche. And I love it.

@@davesclassicgaragetours I drive a 1976 range Rover Classic. I know classic. I also know it's not always about the $$ value . But that Fuego. Seriously.

@@dirty_dog_outlaws What is your problem with it?

My problem is when people say poor man's Porsche. There are heaps of cheap Porsche options. 924 , 944 , boxster and Cayenne are all in the same price bracket as that ugly thing you call " Poor mans Porsche "

@@dirty_dog_outlaws $1000 for two projexct cars. You won't even get a 924 bonnet for that nowadays.

That’s what the link to the main video is for

I tend to agree. It’s like all the replica GTs made up of GS and 500s, 15-20 years ago. I’m much more excited to see GS graphics running down the side with a few GT add ons than yet another GT clone.

Certainly up there in my world

I like to mix it up

Judging by his age already, he'll be well tucked into his super. I imagine he'll be fine.

There's more to come and do tell. Don't keep us in suspence.

Glad you like them! Wheels. They are a joy to make though that joy could be more if they found more viewers.

Whoops that would’ve been slow

So it’s the Fairmont episode?

true that

He is right Fairmont ESP.. European Sports Pack and was high end hence Fairmont

@@MichaelRowan-h8f ghia , see feder

You’re right of course. I forgot with the badges

You know it

Get it going again. Worst decision of my life letting go of my Fuego. Ok, and the W123 CE And the Accord Aerodeck And the 1600E

@@davesclassicgaragetours It needs a major resto, was a nice car in its day though.

Thanks Thestatesman. Please do spread the word, can’t continue with these low numbers watching so I’m heavily reliant on word of mouth as it were.

Two came up on Marketplace the other day. Been sitting in a blokes yard along with two 504s and a GS + sheds full of parts. The fella clearing the house wants $3000 for the lot to help pay for old people’s home costs. I tried to get Germain on board to buy the Fuegos with me but we don’t have the storage. Told Tim on the island we should build something with one but he said he’d disown me if I bought one. I don’t understand, he loves TR7s. Bet he’s never sat in a Fuego though. That’d change his mind. There’s another green 308 under the covers. Absolutely sublime

That’s very much appreciated MrChainsaw. I’m afraid the algo has punished me for lack of consistency earlier in the year and it appears my lack of me doesn’t fit the you in RUclips. Pity as I’m only really interested in the guys I visit
