Water Pumpers LOL.. yeah well it's got to be tried I guess... I'm now hunting for more in the US at the mo.. Even darker side!! yanks! Merc going, 1 912 going , my daily 944 in paint and going, VW Camper gone! Skoda going. I almost got one 912 of ever year but there's more to life than Porsche as I have found out eventually.

The exhaust was handmade by Tim on this forum. It's certainly a nice bit of kit, the welding is beautiful and it sounds amazing.

Took the old girl to the Slough VW Swapmeet on Sunday, not the best day for weather but lots of great VW's there and I managed to pick up a new headlamp glass.

I saw your 12 there, I was in the the other one there, grey 66'. went into the main hall as it opened had a mooch then came outside to wonder about the car park and to have a closer look at your car but you'd gone!

Thanks, it is amazing to drive given the little motor - keeping it lightweight makes a big difference.C3s wrote:Lovely car, must be great to drive. I'm way off that pleasurable day!

Re: New 912 owner
Great thinking, i couldn't believe how heavy just the seats are! I was really chuffed to dig a pr of 67 911s seats out that i'd been hanging onto for years, now considering not using them, also have the standard 70's f/glass front bumper upgrade which may well stay..

Re: New 912 owner
Now sporting a Talbot Berlin mirror which means I can actually see things behind me from the low down seats.

Seat runners have arrived from Rennsport so ready to fit the new seats.
Still need to sort the wheels, or at least decide on tyres for the wheels.

Re: New 912 owner
Haha don't have too high expectations! I'm looking forward to meeting some DDK'ers too.danny wrote:Nice![]()
looking forward to seeing this car at Stanford Hall
Am booked in with Max to get the ride height at the front sorted as well as a few other bits and pieces. Have a long list of jobs for the next two weeks whilst in the UK including seats, wheels and tyres, radio and do what I can with some of the panel fitment.
Roll on May..
