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!

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