Turbo 912 Progress Report

So I have made a bit of progress on the 912 Turbo project. Actually, I have been working really hard to get some things done. I just got the car back yesterday from Tony over at TCDesign who installed a killer cage just like I wanted it. I must say, his welds are very nice and I am overall pleased with his skills. I also have secured a new 923 transmission to mate up to my type-4 engine. The 923 transmission is simply a 915 with a type-4 mainshaft used in the '76 912E. The gearing is also slightly different than a 915 and should work well with my project. I will be taking it apart, cleaning it up, adding an aluminum diff cover and possibly some WEVO products. The car goes to get painted in a week so I have to scramble to finish all the stripping and welding. Stay tuned...

nice cage work britain. I would drop a short post from the side intrusion bars to the floor- that angle, even though triangulated could bend in fairly easy. any extensions into the front trunk? If you give it a lot of fiberglass panels, it should make for a 1700 lb car when done= FUN!

I will look into that.

Thanks,
Britain

Sweet cage Britain! Post some more pics after paint!

Britain,
Please take pictures of the inside of your lungs for all of us to see. With all of that scraping that you have done, I want to be your beneficiary!

Tinker

thanks!

(if you 'd rather keep it quiet, a pm would be greatly appreciated!)

Are my eyes fooling me? I don't see a hoop across the top behind the driver's head?

it's there...look higher than where you think it is...you can see it poke up by the driver's b pillar.
