Hello,
I was fortunate to find a 1966 912 for sale and purchased it. No engine, no transmission... no seats! So the car is rough, but restorable. I was wondering what my club's opinions on the car would be. An immediate question I have is on the viability of putting in a type IV engine in the car. It just seems that would be easier to find than an original 912/356 engine. But would that hurt the resale? Just looking over the car, in addition to the above mentioned missing items, I will need new floor pans, dash pad, door panels, gas tank, and and and... Is this a super money pit? What would this car bring restored? (low and high) P.S. The two tone paint is because the owner was trying to learn to paint. Thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_wirdgut.gif) Attached image(s)
