it's pretty handy that the intake can be flipped around.
I hope to have the engine in and running before X-mas. It all depends on when the guy making the cage is ready to take the car. I am putting in a full cage running into the strut towers both front and back.

Please tell me it is not a REAL wide body turbo car...... considering what they sell for a swap would be the last thing I would do.......... not to mention the body work.

The car is originally a ROW 911 SC that someone did a turbo look and a half *** engine rebuild. To fix the engine would have cost more than the p-car was worth.

beside I wanted a hard top speedster that was track ready and could kick almost any cars ***.
The guy putting in the cage/chassis bracing is coming over tomorrow night to draw up the plans.

So close. Wiring this weekend then put the engine in.
Dan, from Reactive Chassis, came over tonight to measure out and talk ideas for the chassis stiffing and cage.

The car is off to Dan's to put the cage/bracing in.

thanks to Justin & Andy for getting the car there safely and out of the salt.

Went to visit the car last night at Dan's (aka: Reactive Chassis Co.)
He is building/fitting the cage better than I expected.
Since these pictures he has put in double door bars and another cross brace for the seat belts. I get to pick it up on Friday.

I can't wait to get the engine in.
