Update
I've stripped the frame of everything that was rusted out and removed the front and rear suspension.




I'm building a proper 915 front mount now ... something that looks factory and will confuse the techs if I ever have the car up on a lift.




I plan to use the stock trailing arms (refurbished) with urethane bushings and dipped (zinc chromate) stock spring plates.

I think I have found a coilover (QA1) to use with relaxed trailing arms but will have to check if they fit.

I need to strip the rear arms and prepare the chassis for a coat of POR15 ... hope to do that this weekend.

How much 'massaging' did you have to do in the crotch area to fit the 915 in there?

Also Sandeep, do you have pics of your A/W setup?
