The last owner of that car was Scott in Florida and your edit is correct, it had a VW motor.

So it does look like mine is a one of a kind, very rare, unicorn.  If I had time before we leave the country, I'd put it up on BAT, but I don't so it will have to wait until Spring.

Pictures, a little more detail? Private message if you like.

It's nice that you will store it for me until Spring!

Yes, it is a superwide body from V.S. Arizona. I have removed the frame and wil shortly build it on the reinforced frame on the IRS Vw pan.

On the picture i had a succesfull trip in the backyard and had great access to he internals.

It is VW based with some improvements.

Rear alloy trailing arms with brakes , and front brakes from a  1988  944Turbo.

A 5 speed 911 3,2 G50 manual transmission. ( short nose type ).

Subaru EG series European engine with stock ECU. Radiator in the front , with air scoop under the frontbumper. In big VW tank submerged fuelpump. A pedal box for hydraulics. And  nice heater for dutch wheather!

I am gona cut the rear of the body to have access to the engine. A pivoting rear clip. There will only be a seam visible on the rearside under the doors. Normal maintenance can be done from the decklid.

The car gets bumpers with alloy GT type trim

There is a lot of stuff to think over and have lots of fun building it!

I hope next year the car is painted and ready to drive.
