Someone had done something similar to what you're doing, only they used a KarmaGhia. I think someone used a VW Bug too.
Towards the end of this thread What suspension for a mid engine 911? - Page 2 - Pelican Parts Technical BBS there's a guy who stretched his 911 to fit an engine in the middle.
I just remembered I seen your build thread on a VW forum a year or so ago. Did you ever finish it or do you have a new build thread anywhere?

Also I seen the thread you posted its where I got the idea of stretching the q-panels!

NP, The wheel should be back here sometime this week, however it may be a few months before I decide to sell them as I will be using them to mock up my build.

Also a current pic of the car.



If anyone wants to help pull out the windshield its theirs for free. If not it will be $50 assuming I don't break it pulling it out.

I'm embarrassed to say that in the last year all I've done was weld the 930 flares on it and bought the front and rear RSR bumpers along with a whale tail. What started off as a way to pay for a few vehicle projects, has turned into an occupation. Just been too busy. I'm actually thinking about going a different direction and putting a 996 suspension/trans with possible LS power. The VR6 is a wonderful motor, but the aftermarket support for them isn't as large as the LS. I finally got my shop cleared out of all the boxster parts, so hopefully I'll start getting some work done on it soon.
Did you start a build thread on yours?
