Porsche Powered Mid-Engine Double Cab

The new build specs:

84 911 3.2 engine

1990 944s2 suspension, including torsion swap,front spindles welded 2.5" drop
86 aluminum rear arms to reduce track
Bilstein coil-overs to increase spring rates(still using torsion bars fore and aft)

Complete braking system from 944s2 (turbo spec.)

I spent about a year researching and collecting parts then found a awesome fabricator Seth (his shop is called Twisted Minis) to do the welding and heavy fab work.

I have two build threads which have a bunch of photos and descriptions from Seth; The Samba under readers rides titled "Porsche Powered Mid-Engine Double Cab Build" and another thread on Pelican Parts in the vw/porsche conversion forum (same title)

74,000 mile 3.2 before I cleaned it up and had Seth rotate the intake for under seat clearence.
