Goo,
Just surfing the boards, saw your search... BEWARE! I also switched from LBC's (Mini's,MG's, Triumphs) to Porsche (bought a 944). I was shocked by the difference in mechanical skill and parts cost from what we were used to doing. My 944 is now done, but I spend probably twice to three times what it cost me to restore a similiar mini restore. For example, windshield washer motor $79 Porsche vs $19 MGB.

Paid 2500 for the 944 (vs 3k for the mini), put 7500 into the 944 (vs 5k into the mini) for a 944 in near perfect condition now worth 7k vs a driver level mini worth worth 14k.

Maybe the 912's carry more value when completed, that I do not know, but you are in for a surprise the first time you go to make a repair and find out that a "special" Porsche tool is required and which, of course, is more expensive than the repair bill itself!
Porsche are GREAT cars... I'm glad I finished mine, but BEWARE... these are not little british (or Jap) sports cars!

By the best 912 you can afford....
