would like to join

Hey guys I don't live in the SE, I live in Texas my wifes family is from South Carolina and we visit out there a few times a year.

Here is what I am planning for my car tell me if you think i can join your Gruppe?

I have a 1973 1303 in planning/construction stage of getting a full GL treatment.
A few mods planned:
Power...
13BT Wankel Rotary I know it is not a VW/Porsche/Audi engine but Wankel was german so... Turbo 300hp is the plan with inter cooler and big blow off valuve for that cool Psssft sound durring shifts. Porsche 5 speed. Coil overs Brembo/Porsche cross drilled brakes all 4 corners powder coated blue calipers.
Wheels and tires...
17 or 18's Porsche Turbo or Boxter like the way they look on Joe's car...
Light weight everything....
Carbon Fiber Hood, cf fenders, cf bumpers with blue powder coated aluminum bumper mounts drilled out air craft style, cf running boards, cf door panels, cf racing seats, CF Porsche early 911 style dash with Porsche guages. That should lighten up the old girl... then add back a little weight with a blue powder coated chromemoly roll cage with points for the suspension to tie in front and back
27mm rear sway bar 25mm front
Smoke grey paint with raw carbon fiber every where else...
and a few other things in cant think of right now...
I plan on budgeting 20k or so. My biggest thing is time.... not much of it work long hours.

let me know what you guys think?
