hey all first off thanxs for lookin at my post....ok i recently sold my 68 type3 square and since selling have had afew different jap cars but miss the sweet old skool style.

so i have started lookin for a new project which will end up being my daily driver i no it sounds weird but cant afford runin two cars.

wat i need info on is the cars i have sorted it down to..

here are the different cars:

1st. 911/912 69ish porsche....i no the 912 also came out in america in 76 with a volkswagen motor which is probably what i am after...does anyone no if u can get them here? if so roughly how much?

2nd. Split window single cab kombi.

3rd. pre 69 type 3 notchback

i like the old skool porsche cuz they pretty much a vw...i am a student so i dont really have a massive bugdet...just tryin to see wat i am goin to get myself into....i might put some pics up of type 3 just to show wher i comin from
and if anybody has any info or feed back plz feel free to put up ur opinion or thoughts....

thanxs Steven...
Sorry for a long post and if i didn make sense.

it might be the 914 you're looking for?

yeh i have seen the 914 but i not a big fan of the shape...i try and get up a pic of the 912 it looks exactly like the 911 but they run a flat four instead of a flat six....how do u put pics up sorry thanxs for post vwtyp2..

pics need to be less than 50kb to post.

check this site for a wealth of info on early 911's

Hey Steve,

Steve here (who bought your squareback, and had to sell it dues to finances earlier this year).

Man, of the 3 you've listed, I'd go the pre-69 notchback...especially if your budget is tight. I reckon a tidy Single cab splitty would be nice but is gonna cost you for a semi-decent restorable example, and the Porsche is gonna be up there with cost also.

There are a few, decent early notches for sale on here (but all NSW/Canberra from memory).

Just my 2 cents worth, but an old school notch, slammed just a little with whitewalls and a wooden roofrack would look the goods IMHO.

How is you brother's 58 resto coming along?

Steve

you can try the AU Porsche clubs - though they are a snotty crew to get info out of when I was looking. I was looking for a 912 a few years ago. Dead hard to come by. Found that early 911s we're more common, but I liked the simplicity of the 912.

Have a friend in the UK with a 914 money pit. Hard enough to get parts there let alone here. Spent an absolute fortune on it and was a pretty 'ordinary' ride I thought, given the money he'd blown on it.

Good luck though, can't see a single cab being a cheap option either (done well)....though I'd feel happier having a go grinding up at a splitter than a 911/2.

you will find the 912 will end up soaking up your $$ to get it up to scratch
split ute will cost $$ to find one in decent condition
with out requiring a shit load of work
type3 sounds like the most feasible option

hey all thanxs for postin up
....first off steve sent u a pm and yeh my bro's 58 is comin along very slowly though and just scored a porsche motor for it....

i have been thinkin bout it and no my daily will be goin up for sale and will start lookin for something.....me and my bro would love a splity or porsche but i think i probly dreamin on lil budget....i think i may stick to the pre 69 notch....

if so does anyone no if they have a lid over the engine like fastbacks? and has anyone done a turbo/supercharger set up on one? and wat are the biggest wheels u can fit on them.... if they have the same wheel archs as the wagons i guessin 17's-18 inch...?

thanxs heaps for info and help everyone appreciate it
