Where's the usual predictable band of haters to come out and say "it was only a targa" or "it was only a 912"?

In all honestly I can appreciate the guy's effort. Looks to be a decent (though not great) install. There's a hell of a lot less oil under that car than most 911s/912s I've seen also.

I would have serious concern about frame rigidity though - that's a lot of torque for not having a rear crossmember.

I can appreciate what the guy did - either spend $10k rebuilding an underpowered 4-cyl to be "authentic" or spend about the same to put in a whole ton of horsepower? I can see the appeal. I wouldn't buy it (certainly not for what he's asking) but I can definitely see why he did.
