Beeks Spider restomod

Hmmm, show piece versus driver. You can drive what you want. I would want to drive that car very much.

I can however understand your reticence to driving what is clearly an amazing piece of work.

I think, at the very least, you should road trip it to Chicago and do some Ferris Bueller jumps in it.

Whoa!

I thought you meant a 500 Abarth, my reading comprehension the other day was way off.

That is one hot ride! Nice choice. I don’t understand the black wheels but that can be fixed.

Trying to get my wife to turn her 1992 Miata for one of these in the spring. We’ll see how successful I am.

Very enjoyable choice of a daily driver. My wife wanted an automatic (it's hers) otherwise if it had a manual it'd be my DD. Love looking down the sculpted hood and driving it 'con brio' to my wife's displeasure!

the wheels are a gunmetal grey, they match the trim and mirrors. But I am planning a change of wheels

Keep in mind it is 4x100 which offers you a huge number of choices.

Spending SO much time only in the X1/9 portion of Xweb, I rarely venture over to these areas. So I am just now seeing this build thread. Yet another amazing product form Beek! Very well done. I think my next carrier will be as a instructor so I can try and be like Beek (or at least pretend to be).
