    WV panhandle guy new member and owner

    Just purchased this Mirage from longtime Yahoo group member Robert S and looking forward to this new build having been a Mirage admirer for a very long time! Finally found the one for me :-)

    The plan-
    MantaCars C-5 subframe
    C-5 rear suspension
    Change out stock Mustang II front suspension for a Mustang II tubular suspension
    Prius electric power steering assist
    Swap out Corvair transaxle for my Porsche 987 Boxster 6sp
    Chop rear from a 5 louver to a 3
    Chop entire top for open car (like Terry Oxandale's car)
    Replace glass cockpit pan with alum skin/boxing

    Last image is my current track car, 1973 Porsche 914 Sheridan Standard Widebody with a sbc

    A welcome from my inspiration?
    We're not worthy, we're not worthy lol.
    Thanks Terry. Little doubt I will become a huge pain in your ass with the barrage of questions I will have over the coming years ;-)

    Pretty sure I'm gonna use David's C-5 Subframe in conjunction with my Porsche 987 6spd transaxle.

    Well thanks for the tip! That setup looks pretty cool. Mebbe I should rethink?
