yep, I will be having a garage sale once the car is running, selling off whichever wheels I don't use, panels (fiberglass long hood, 73 rs front and rear bumpers), sports steering wheel, 912 gauges, etc
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.

Hi, here's the story of a 1968 SWB 912 project that's slowly starting.
Car bought off gumtree just before Xmas 2016, not pretty but not hiding anything.
It was missing;
motor,
gearbox,
axles,
seats,
front and rear bumpers,
front and rear lights, and
front guards.
needs rust repairs to front slam panel, sills and parcel shelf.
also has later engine cover, and has had carerra flares fitted at some time.
after getting it home, acquired and fitted steel 1969-73 front guards (larger flare than pre-69), fiberglass S front bumper. All hold on with zip ties for dummy fit up.
now just have to decide to build as hot rod retaining rear flares, or stock looking (requiring new front and rear guards)
yes, I picked up a 2.0 flat six out & 901 5 speed with axles out of Sydney, also purchased a weber style efi set up.
have most of interior now
replacing sports steering wheel with standard steering wheel
replacing 912 gauges with period correct 911 gauges (thanks for the speedo Russ).
bought some autotechnica low back sports seats
also purchased 15x4.5 fuchs for front
now just chasing an oil tank, and then rust repair panels
working out what bits I need to get,
a crank trigger (like the clewett engineering kit for 2.0 & 2.2) and a ecu (probably haltech) to go with the TWM injection system
http://www.clewett.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_23&products_id=22
exhaust system, has anybody tried the OBX stainless headers from ebay usa?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OBX-Exhaust-Header-Fits-65-66-67-68-69-70-71-72-73-74-Porsche-911-RSR-Flat-6-/122272027811?epid=1247237362&hash=item1c77fb14a3:g:zOsAAOSwEetV~JVM
Can't comment on their headers but I did buy the cat delete for mine, it fitted and for the money was fine for me. The finish was not as pretty as it looked in the pics.
For the money it's not all that much more to get custom stuff made, and it's a heap better.
Check the exhaust thread in the aircooled section, I recently had some made. If they are of interest I can send you the fab guys details.
I keep flip flopping between narrow body or hotrod, lately I'm leaning towards getting the correct front and back narrow guards, then having it sitting low over 15x4.5 fronts and 15x6 deep 6's fuchs on the back.
Bit of a bugger because I've also bought four new Porsche pattern fat minilites for the hotrod build, and narrow body means more bodywork.
have picked up a set of dansk replacement sills off gumtree this week, still lots of parts to source.
got it off Geoff in Camden :-)
yep, I will be having a garage sale once the car is running, selling off whichever wheels I don't use, panels (fiberglass long hood, 73 rs front and rear bumpers), sports steering wheel, 912 gauges, etc
agree, at the moment that's the plan
Nice I'm in bris to. Keen to see what you make you make of it. I hope you got it for a good price from what he was asking and good job on finding parts so quickly. where in bris are you?
have purchased correct early guards (1965-68) and metal rear bumper (centre panel), now just chasing SWB rear bumper end pieces before bodywork can commence
new SWB rear quarters ordered mid November have arrived,
now chasing 911 engine shroud and tinwear to get car running before the body and paint commences
edging closer as engine tinwear organized through 'thesamba.com" classifieds, have bought quite a few parts from one seller on there who is happy to post to Australia, all parts he's sent to date have been well priced and described accurately
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/search.php?username=hencar
progress on 912-6 has been slow as I try to get the ford falcon project done
http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/201299/1983-ford-falcon-group-replica
next step is fan shroud, get car running, weld on any brackets needed, cut off any brackets etc not needed and then commence body and paint
Love the greens tuff falcon. I know a guy with a fox body mustang letting it sit without being fixed and so tempted to buy it off him and make a DJR racing mustang replica. Would be a very cool track car.
more parts buying, now have 911 engine tinwear, correct early engine cover (thanks chris) and just bought SWB rear bumpers.
now chasing plastic engine cooling shroud, early front bumper and some spare time to start piecing it all together :-)
