As far as the rear suspension goes for a mid engine layout. What options are there? One could clip a boxster suspension, or custom fab some a-arm job? What about retaining trailing arms (converted to 951 of course). Could a boxter trans slide in the gap between them? The 924, 944, and 968 all had there trans moved to the back for weight distribution, didn't they?

Of course, a trailing arm solution is viable but why bother since it is inferior to double, unequal length A arms with push rod spring dampers especially since the vehicle will be a tube frame special. There will have to be a substantial amount of framework just to hang the engine and transmission off, so adding the new suspension is no big deal.

I like the idea of keeping the Type 1 pan and body fairly stock and adding on, a la WRC. So, I would cut the center of the pan in the middle and shorten the tranny tunnel to keep the VIN number, then graft in a Boxter S engine and tranny. From what I've run across so far it's possible to do a double-wishbone rear suspension, or possibly graft in the Boxter rear suspension if not too much hacking is required. Then do a bolt on double-wishbone like I've done already, and tie everything together with a complete cage/tube chassis.
