Shameless self promotion but a nice piece nonetheless and a small insight to my future plans.

Nice, I am going to follow your adventures on Insta.

Only minor gripe with the article: why using the restomod term? It's a 2007 car, not a Porsche 356. She's just track-focused.

Very nice, but agreed that the term restomod does not apply. It’s not a 62 Corvette with C6 running gear!

I think the journalist used the term because not only is the car much more than skin deep in the rework, this particular car did undergo a full restoration. It was in more than a sorry sight when I bought it and was taken down to the metal. Every component, every bolt replaced or restored. Then in the same way any of the restomod companies do it was modified to fit a new purpose. Hence resto/mod. I understand the gripe but i think its just using a buzzword thats being bounced around at the moment.

Yeah, you are probably right, it's just a term there for the clicks. Great work!
