Just reread your initial post concerning a 5-speed conversion. I used a Thunderbird Turbo coupe bellhousing. I snagged the flywheel and clutch while I was at it. Any T-5 trans will mate with this.

If you go Boxster make sure it had the IMS bearing replaced already.
If it were me I’d look (again) at the Honda S2000. Cool car, not common, loads of fun. Try to find one that some boy racer has never messed with. They’re out there.Fox-body Mustangs I never loved, though some people do love them and they make a pretty stout hotrod. If I had one,… -

I’m glad they chose a couple shots with you and your car, Vicenc. Couple years ago they had Bridget in the slideshow. It was a proud moment.

Key word, my man: BOGUS.

I’d go $1,000. If he’d deliver.
