912E 3.2 conversion
This forum has been a huge help to me, so I thought I would share my recent coupe project. 912E fully reworked, 3.2/ fresh 915 gearbox, limited slip, 29mm rear torsion bars, ft sport struts, Boxter calipers all around, and RSR bodywork. I just put it together and it runs incredible! now it just needs to be dialed in. Just wanted to say thanks to all who have posted, as Im sure I have saved a tremendous amount of time and money by the information here.

Looks like a helluva lot of work. Good job!
What's with the little black thingies on the headlight lenses? ianc

The blackouts convert the headlight beam pattern from LHD to RHD or vis- versa, not necessary here in the states, more of a european thing. Just trying to make the car look a little more like an authentic RSR. I know the wheels are not correct either, as the RSR's used speedline 3-piece wheels, but since I already had this set, I figured I can use them for now and drive the car. Thanks for the compliment!

Im not sure, I havent weighed it yet. I had this same motor in a 68 tub, full interior, more streetable , but the 76 car feels noticeably quicker.

That is one heck of a nice conversion.
I like the little black "make up" on the lights. I had a BMW in which I had Euro lights that had those. They helped a lot as the light patter was very weird without them. Good Job, Don
