At present, it looks like a bone stock 80's cab that some idiot fitted the wrong wheels and springs too...

Had them made years ago to run wets on my group S car.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok, after several false starts, failed deals, auction stuff ups, misrepresentations, own goal errors and many other obstacles, this project has finally started.
The premise is a safari style 911 but based on a cabriolet not a coupe. Why? Why not? I think it will be fun - a concept lacking a little in recent times in the air cooled Porsche world as prices rise. A parallel could be the Ducati Scrambler - think street bike with some classic off road style - as this is intended to be nothing more than a fun street car (that doesn't have to brake for speed humps). Hopefully a few folk will enjoy it in the spirit it is intended - and the haters will have something to talk about...
On Friday I took delivery of an 88 3.2 cab and the fun has begun. Insta pics to follow.
Next jobs are order the 195/70r15 rally tyres and get a roll hoop fabbed up.
Light pod has arrived, lamps need to be sourced.
Marchal Amplilux...Monsieur .
?
Almost as good as a 959 resurrection will it actually wear a bit of mud or should I forward you a mates number who is a scenic painter?
@OBRUT
needs to put
THIS
on his list for Santa. When he gets serious about the build, invite the hoards to come and watch as he takes to the guards, ciggy hanging from his lower lip while the fanboys all get selfies with him.
Progress. 1. Knobby tyres fitted to Steelies and 2. Steelies fitted to G series cab.
I was going to get some Braid rally wheels but I think the Steelies looks rad - ergo: the steelies are staying
Booked in next week to get the ride height raised another 1 to 2 inches - which will require a re-index of the torsion bars.
The light pod has also arrived, as has the lamps.
We have lift! My alignment guy (Dave Falson/East Coast Susp) combined his years of air cooled 911 experience with his charity bash car experience - and voila.
He fitted some front shock spacers left over from a London to Sydney build. We still have proper shock and sway bar function and even a little -ve camber on the rear. This thing drives so nicely down the road.
And was so much fun bombing over a few speed humps last night on the way home...
Next challenge is finding a good fabricator for the bar work. Any recommendations for someone Sydney based gladly received.
After catching up with Mike at Luftgekhult and having a good look over his Leigh Keen built rally coupe, it looked like so much fun and they had a ball driving it over. Are you going to put on some extra lights for that real rally look?
Trying Cam - getting work done in this town is a PITA.
Yep, quad light pod is here and awaiting paint/fitting as are the lamps. Plus I have a rad (ebay-find) vintage spottie for the rear end.
Couple of other oddball details too - spare wheel carrier, vintage ski rack (which I'm hoping can lug a kid's scooter or skateboard). All will be revealed.
Next step is fitting the roll hoop and spare wheel carrier - will post a pic when that is done.
At present, it looks like a bone stock 80's cab that some idiot fitted the wrong wheels and springs too...
Well done mate, chic late 70's! Not being facetious here, are you actually going to rally it? Or mostly for unique looks and feel amongst the usually modded old air cooleds?
I reckon get it on some unsealed back roads for a laugh!
dirt track is also not a bad idea- most are actually smooth and a standard 911 would do it (I have), but the scrambler would be a hoot
A few mates and I have been getting some miles on this car - it is so enjoyable to drive. Hard to explain but it is just fun the way it cruises down the road.
Gets odd looks from other drivers though - especially dudes in 4wd’s.
