Buy a rust free 912. I've had my fair share of 12s and they were the entry level car of the day. If they are abused, they were abused all over.
As for the nadellas and cv's, I believe you can change them without updating the transaxle. My 66 had one on each side.
It is just as expensive to restore a 912 as a 911. Buy a nice one and enjoy.
My favorite Porsche was my 1967 912. I gave it to my father and am really happy it is still around.
I bought the nicest one that made sense. This one was well taken care of by the pervious owner. He rebuilt the motor twice and addressed everything it needed. It had 230k miles on it and was driven daily:
