turboT Posted 3October, 2016 Report Share Posted 3October, 2016 Well this wasn't really supposed to happen.Several false starts of projects over the last two years, but maybe the recent selling of a local yellow 'street find' 912 tipped the balance. That and the fact that this dusty, engine-less example was being saved and the seller only wanted $9KThis could be fun. A journey to be had back from the US, a possible 4 pot engine build on route, design and planning. The end game? Not sure yet...

I'm thinking low and on steelies like this:I'm loving the cookie cutters Could there be a 912 Polo engined Hotrod on the drawing board ? thats my plan tomo. The only way I can get a 912 without an engine registered in OZ is if it has an equivalent engine to what it was born with. In love with the Polo. A bit exy, but once you factor in buying/sourcing an engine and having it fixed up, the difference is....well still a bit.
