Cheer or Boo?
I can't decide. It's awesome. It's also terrible.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, I guess. https://jalopnik.com/forget-singer-you-want-a-mid-engine-ls-swapped-porsche-1830004053

Ingenius! Do I like it? Yes. Could I do it? No. Tip of my hat to the guy!

Wow! Full respect for the attention to detail!
If he likes it he's happy and don't care what you or I think...

The ridged metal on the wheel well areas are rather fugly and ruin it for me.
Take those off, and I could almost see it being a future-ized 914 style if the metal for the now gone rear quarter windows were removed. |

Lot of time and skill involved in that build.
Nicely 'executed' 912 mod. Hope he gets some quality road time out of it. (edit: I did say 'executed' 912) Last edited by john70t; 01-30-2019 at 04:45 PM.. |

Looks like a lot of fun.
Perhaps some day he'll find the time to do his own unique bodywork style on an even greater part of the car. |

Great skills and all that but at every level that's just horrible!
And he's built something that's basically unsellable.

Andrew15 built a 914 with a Nissan V6 in it. I drove it at Watkins Glen and Brainerd. It is a fast, well set up race car. He could have just as easily done an LS transplant.
The wheelbase was unchanged and it didn’t ruin the dynamics of the car. I suspect that this mid engine 911 would not handle anything like a 911.

"Karl Gaskins bought his then-beige Porsche 912 new in 1966, trading off a 1953 Studebaker Starlight Coupe and a split-window Beetle to acquire Porsche’s flat-four special. "
Lets have a moment of silence for this 912. Yes, mad sheet metal skills (I spent ten years as a tin knocker) but not meant for a 912.
