'Rubbermaid' (tall kitchen) = routed with drier ducting to a rear window shelf mounted oil cooler!
See pic of 'trash can cooler' here:

Re-glassed from a 911 engine fire victim. And it looked like a cheapo aftermarket version to begin with.Steve Arndt wrote:Did you make the "ducktail" spoiler from scratch as well?

The gulf blue with orange accents are great.
Do you have any more pics? I would like to see my engine shots of both T3s.

Thanks Nate!
It was a blast...We really have a car that handles/brakes well. Just need a few more HP to make us competitive. We're shooting for the LeMons event at the Chicago/Autobahn track and staring on a motor rebuild now.
If anyone has any thoughts on how to gain negative camber up front, on a Type III — let us know here?

I'm seriously considering adapting a 914 front suspension with clipped struts and an upper a-arm, keeping the torsions.
Should be seriously compact and very tunable.
If it came out of a junkyard, it's fair game, right?
Enginnering is $free.
