    I don’t know why people don’t like nor talk about the 914!!! I loved it since i was a kid, and it was the first non-Italian car i recognized by the sound. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the engine of cars passing by, and recognized more than 70-80% and i was 5 years old. It has become my passion and job sound tuning cars… so thanks for bringing back those great memories 👍🏼

    I am just blown away by the dedication that went into the build. I was very interested first time I saw it in print. I do hope there is the market in the Porsche universe for this interesting and different take, I suspect those with 911s will love this to add to their collection as a fascinating talking point and a different type of drive. The engine choice was close to my heart and my first Porsche was a Boxster S 3.4 which seemed to have a particularly racy engine to me, so good choice. I have just got back into Porsche selling my Evora to fund a 997.1 C2S which I hope to evolve over time in a same way you have developed Little Irish. Your passion shines through keep up the great work and if you ever stop at the Kirkstile pub, my local near Loweswater in the Lake District, I'll buy you a pint. @@9WERKSTV

    These were exactly my thoughts, too. I have never been a fan of the 914 (while I am very fond of contemporary Porsches as well as the Karmann Ghia), but this restomod looks really good inside and out - I definitely like it. And the redesigned front facia is indeed quite an improvement in comparison to the original design - apart from the hooded headlights which give the impression that something is missing there.
