I thought is was time to start a build thread now that it is clear the car will be completed.
The project started as a 1975 1.8 in good condition. Here are the specs for the car. - Audi 2.7tt v6 with Vems standalone ecu - Boxster (Audi 012) 5-speed transmission - F&R suspension from 993 This is how the car has sat for about 10 years    |

Thanks, i am very happy with the new toy. Definitely not the death nail for the teener, as it is still my favorite car of all time. I drove a friends spec boxster the other day and it made me miss the 914. My friend who is building the car is going to be getting back into cars full time so there is hope that it will be completed in this life time.
