Default New Project - Need a Name - an engine - a gearbox - ...

It's been what, 3 years that I sold Shrek, to buy a life keeper (356 A Super).
The '69 E is going forward nicely.
So the logical thing is what?
To get another project!
The reasoning is simple. Get it while I can $-wise.
So I found and bought this. Exactly what is in the pics, nothing more nothing less (well the tow bar isn't mine...).
There, place saved for updates, whenever they arrive.

Well my "friends" named mine "$h!7 beetle" so...that's taken



I started some work on my project a couple weeks ago and then almost immediately started ordering parts for the RSA. What is wrong with us?

GP White, with no sunroof. It’s a keeper!

I have no idea what to call it, but I applaud your bravery and ambition in taking that on!

Ha! I was thinking Casper as well. But it is in for a color change, so...
No sunroof, no airbag, no AC. only one option when new, rear wiper. Never hit. Cosmetic damage from almost 20 years' being parked.
I am leaning towards no electric windows, no rear seats, no power steering. I have original 1990 Cup alloy lid and RS seats on the shelves already.
It is coming totally apart to a naked shell.

white and needs cleaning… PWT - Project White Trash also comes to mind . Obviously I’m going the dark route.. . Guess it’s a no go with the color change.

on a serious note - sounds like you’re describing a club sport tribute…I like that direction! I’m also realizing that you bought a car to go with your hood..so technically this project started over 20 years ago

I'd lean towards RS touring tribute, a bit more on the sport side. I am a bit torn on the seats. A set of Leather multi color sport seats would be so nice. But then, the buckets...

I'd call it "white girl" - cause she's missing a butt currently.

I would name her "FIONA" to continue the Shrek theme and the future color change will not affect the name.
Have fun and I know I will be watching the progress with real pleasure.

Cheers !
