Yes, I found out the tran's is a 06. Male axles and using the case numbers.

I was told by the old owner it has a LSD but we will see.

Also been think over the weekend and think I will just use the 901 and the Turbo " Leg "motor and build a cradle for it. Also think I will leave the GT idea behind.

This will free up the trans and EZ30 for a different build.

IMHO, running a 901 on anything other than a Porsche power plant is akin to driving a square peg into a round hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Went back and reread my build. Only change was I used weld-through paint on this arm. Man I have been doing this car for a long time. Sad. But I'm not dead yet.

I've used that paint before and it works great, do light coats and it will really look like chrome. The only problems I've had is when I try to clear over it, the chrome turns dull and just looks like silver paint.

I did some checking and the "net" said don't do it and that is the way I will go.

Opened up the right jack point. Lower outer jack cove is rusted. The next inner panel is rusted. The next panel looks ok so far. Take a look and tell me what you would do ?

Wire wheel and keep cutting back little by little until you hit good metal, then replace it.
I encountered a similar issue when I first got my car.

Been planning what wheels I will be using and don't want to pay for changing them. So started building a HF manual with the duck thing. Will test tomorrow. Will use the biggest tire and rim I have 295/50r15 on a 10 x 15 .
