looking at the engine they swap and the way they cut the rear to fix those big aloys aint that nice, if i have that car i do my best to make it look like stock, from the engine, body to interior

Ditto that man!

- that model is now virtually a classic - anything other than stock is going to make it look lame :(

hmmm a Porsche body on a VW bug chassis perhaps? :unsure:

Thats what S_N told me, if he check the car he might able to identfy the chassi, also there is no way to get the car number place, btw looking at the engine i dnt think anyone will swap that kinda engine to a Porsche

couldn't that be a 912? the headlamps are from a 930 but i think only the 901 had so many chrome bits :unsure:

why is it at tokimo? i mean what are they doing on it?

He says that he has got the body from Japan. Obviously illegally. There are no, seats, dashboard nothing. Just the body and the wheels. The engine is a 1300 VW engine he bought a few weeks ago in Colombo somewhere.He said that he is going to buy the interior parts on the internet. I reallly dont know where its going to end.

Great guy though whoever he is.

A big project. I wish him all the very best, as if he gets it right ( Chassis & Engine) it would be nice huh?

A 3 shri Posrshe running around. lol. :rolleyes:

Btw I have seen a 914 in Colombo mates, sat in it as well, so there are some Porshephiles I see....

Good stuff , lets help the dude out in any way we can.

Mate, with the kinda info you guys have I don't believe he wants to get any thing close to a Original does he? :unsure: Might even see some Toyota bits on the way to a restoration to go with the VW motor... :blink:

Nope it aint a 912 because the engine is definitely a 1300 VW.... the 912 DID use a 4 pot motor but it was a larger and more advanced engine that porsche previously used on the late 356 models... It only shared basic design with the bug engine.
