hello boys
l have come by some porsche bits and pieces for nothing thanks to emptying a garage out for a friend, not one for throwing things away l find myself pondering another buggy biuld
but l know nothing about porsche mecahanicals so l am looking for some schooling here,
l assume they are related to vw beetle components ? if this is the case then there must be thousands of buggys out there biult from them,
the sort of thing l have in mind is like the green one in this thread
http://dtsfab.com/index/index.php?topic=2419.0 but with a shorter rear end and longer bonnet and perhaps the seats pushed back a little further,
so what l am asking is is the 944 rear axle any good for use in a buggy, it looks simalar to a beetle but with alliminium trailing arms and disc brakes instead of drums,
the torque tube looks like it would shorten down by 18" or so leaving the gearbox in the stock position at the rear and the engine at the front (ish)
dont have the porsche engine so it would be a choice of what l have around either the rover V8 ( buick ?) or a mazda rx7 rotary,
is there any buggy sites that are for this type of buggy or vw anyway,
what do you think guys, usefull bits or junk ?
