Vitor has left the planet. A few years now, took the illness to the universe. nc, cnc machinist since the '60s, large heavy work, turbines, tiny keys for AV8B's. Wrote good code, parametrics, multi languages, no bs. I liked some of his drawings, went out a space kadet. Well, someone will have to build a few. This is one of his last, called it Baltic Black 07, the curve of the trunklid is mirrored by the edge of the fender, allowing the fender's line to rise above the lid, higher. are you saying Mr. virkey has passed away? I always enjoyed his posting and thoughts . I don't remember hearing that or knowing that he was no longer with us. |

I've recently got his drives, pooters. Huge stacks.
Some of the drawings were nice, a Pama 5x machine manual from the '90s, progs. I touched up the shooting brake using the same sw he used, notes. He wrote about the limo, which I haven't seen..yet. He had a laugh doing the 6 x 6 Tonka, a glass body for a tow vehicle, gooseneck race 914 trailer. |

The doorskins, moved out to meet the fenders in a smooth transition, the top radius much larger than either the front or rear. The entire side of the car is tapered, growing wider as it moves to the rear, stabilizing at speed, one would think. Looks like a scoop at the sail panel, air for cooling. A slight widening of the front fenders, to accomodate the wider front Z rated tires, 225. A guess. Here they are leaving the start line, the six winding out. Skirts, they did it with skirts, and a dam, a front splitter. Lowered, widened fenders, laid back windscreen, open targa bar, side windows up. A fiberglass tail lip spoiler. The entire rear panel was split in the center, moved laterally to the new, wider position, looking good. https://issuu.com/porscheclubla/docs/vol_1_no_6_july_1981 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=porschaus http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=porschaus http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...chaus&st=20 . |

That's cool but I don't think it will fit between the inboard suspension mounts anymore.

You are way too smart for me! "That's cool but I don't think it will fit between the inboard suspension mounts anymore." Outside width is almost exactly 750mm. How wide is a 1.8/2.0 ? I don't have an engine to measure. Best, Paul |

If you go that far why not throw in a Subaru instead?

I feel like I am posting in the engine swap forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I guess that's what I get for resurrecting a long dead fantasy thread. |
