porsche 912 project

[vicpolky]

just watched the magnus walker video, i cannot wait to get it here and started were all 911's swb till 68?

Yep standard 912 and 911 had the same body - narrow, short wheel base up to the end of 68 - from 69 onwards long wheel base with a slight flare on the wheel arches.

I know you're looking at different engine ideas at the moment, I thought this might be of interest - Elliot's VW Type 4 based unit: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewto ... 21&t=39386

those rear arches look good its a shame mine looks so cool or i would fit some and paint it, type 4 engines are quite heavy so am thinking type 1 is a better option addressing the handling concerns already raised

the project taken a turn for the worst and its not here yet. In fact that is the whole problem it has not set off yet despite having paid for it 5 weeks ago

Sounds like a good idea. Have a look at Jury's restoration thread for some inspiration too.
