    They are more fun when you can drive them. Trust me on this! No worries about the wrong engine, most people won't notice, and you can just leave the hood down at shows!

  6. Cool car man. Should be able to afford to drive it a bit with a slightly economical motor in it. Pillarless four doors are really special - I think i even prefer some of them to a two door post. Suicide rear doors would be cool.
