SWB project....advice / ideas
 
Hi All,

6 months ago I knew nothing of this madness!!!!

Now I have a 1976 911 project in full swing and this is now sitting my garage:

1966 912 (8/1965 build)
off the road since 1972
rock solid….no rust, I mean really no rust!!
Very intact and very original, numbers matching engine and trans.
NOS 1968 fenders, NOS engine case (plus original), NOS p&c’s.

I feel like a got a great deal….I think I am the third pelican to have it in this condition.

To me this is the perfect “blank canvas” so to speak….my first thoughts are SWB hot rod, 911r clone, maybe a 912r, ultimate sleeper??? I am in the planning stages.

Thoughts and ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
Kevin

Love projects. Since you have access to two 912 engines, I would try to use one of them with maybe a big bore set up. I for one am a big fan of the R-clone's. White is super cool on a SWB. If it is mostly original I would see if you could put somehting together without doing any irreversible work to it.

Good luck on any direction you take.

Jake Raby type 4 engine. Stash your correct engine away and
install the type 4 rebuilt with the Raby kit.
