Thanks James, I can see it finished in my head.....just hope it will be a reality sometime soon :)


The engine has been rebuilt Mick, so it should be ready to go...just need to find some carbs (yes sorry, going with carbs :wink: ) exhuast, headers, clutch, electrics, oil tank....etc etc etc :roll:

Thinking of having a word with the local guy who has done some work on my red car, I just want it finished now.....may be able to trade 3 striped shoes and clothing in return for making the car work :)

Cheers
Chris

Ok its not quite the same as a 917's, but for the 55cents I spent on a HOLZKUGEL I think I can live with it :)

Nice work - keep the pics coming.

Are those different mounts the main or only difference between the 912 and the 911 bodyshellwise?

What to do in a Chinese shoe factory whilst waiting for a shoe sample to show up.....get an offcut of tanned hide, jump on a spare sewing machine and re-do something already done.....really need to get out more :roll: (much classier looking though)

Door straps next.....
