Well...I spent a long time the garage this week and got a fair amount completed. Let me first start out with some "money shots." I cut off the top of the donor type-4 case that I have mounted in the engine bay and installed the 911 11-blade fan like it will be on the real engine. WOW! It fits in there really nice and is going to look awesome. I think I am going to have plenty of room to mount the turbo behind it and an intercooler above it. Check out the pics:

I also finished cutting out the front suspension pan and cleaning up the area for the new pan (Thanks HPH). I need to make a few more pieces here and there to repair some other rust spots, but it is getting closer. There is a mightly large hole where the front suspension pan was...

These are the new parts that I got from HPH...brand new suspension pan. If you going to do it, might as well do it right.

Just for fun, I laid in the 912E sheetmetal I would be using if I wasn't doing a turbo motor and the upright fan shroud. Most likely I will sell these parts as they are kinda price given the fact only 2399 912E's were built.

There is 912 related content here...it is a Type-4 motor!

The 912 guys look down upon "outlaw" people like me, even though I am pumping life back into the car.

I agree with Brad, this should be marked OT. Imagine....oh, the humanity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) People had to wade through this thread. You should be so ashamed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Oops. I forgot.

Next time add a "sorta OT" or "a tiny bit of 914 content" to the title. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Unless it's a bus motor. Then all bets are off and we kick you out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Nope, I cut up a nice GA case for the turbo conversion. The engine is getting closer...I just got a box from aircooled.net with all new pushrod tubes and seals, and an adjustable pushrod measuring tool. With the parts I had cut by Patrick and the custom copper shims being cut at Jay's Machine shop, I should be able to get the engine closer to completion in the weeks to come.

Here is the page with all the progress pics...

Scott volunteered to help me out. He has a little bit of experience with body work, he has owned a body shop for like 20 years.

I have a bit more cleaning up to do before he gets called.

Well, as I promised...here are some updated pics of the suspension pan that Scott Yeamon welded in at his shop, Yeamon Auto Body. I must say, he did an awesome job.

Here is a pic of the new pan in...

He also welded up the cancer (rust) that I cut out...

I now have only one more spot to weld up, I cut this out early this week.
