The replica industry traditionally utilizes donor cars and parts for the basis of the replicated car so we often get asked 

"how many of the used donor parts end up on my new Speedster?"

     Having concern about dangerously fatigued suspension, steering, and brake parts that come from VW donor cars that are as much as 45 years old which typically have hundreds of thousands of miles of use is not an unreasonable concern.

     Since Specialty Auto-sports, inc. 356A replicas do not use any VW parts most of our comparable parts are new, and the few parts that do come from a donor car are from carefully selected Subaru cars with 2-25K mileage.

     To assist you in understanding the scope of donor parts involved you may use the comparison chart below as a checklist to get a handle on what parts are involved, and it will also assist you in asking sensible questions of your builder.
