POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

[Chris Pomares]

My car will be off the road for the next two or three years. I'm taking it down to it's bare bones. It will get some custom metal work, all new Bahama Yellow paint, radically upgraded interior, 2 gear changes, suspension and brake upgrades, engine upgrades, glass, headliner, etc. Oh and probably never seen before wheels. I've put over 12,000 miles on it over the last 4 years thinking what I would do to the car if I ever rebuilt it. Well it's time to take it to a level I never dreamed of 5 years ago.
I hope to finish it about the same time I finish a POLO car for a friend.

POLO Grill Badges
I would appreciate it if someone could post this link and picture on the 356 site.
I made a similar request on the 912 Registry.

I took a couple hours off the 911E project to put a different deck lid on my car. The spoiler is conveyor belt material. When I get the shape and size finalized I'll make it out of polished aluminum.

Looks really nice. I appreciate you taking the time. My grill is basically ruined and I've been considering options like this. What's the weight difference?

[Chris Pomares]

I doubt there is a pound difference between the two. The new grill is on a LWB deck lid and is made of aluminum. I still have my original deck lid and grill hanging on the wall.

I'm finally getting around to installing my SWB adjustable spring plates and Rebel Racing bushings.
I can set the angle with a floor jack and a digital angle gauge. Now I just turn the torsion bar till it slips in and insert a c clip. Done.
As the bushing offers no resistance the car settles to the ride height desired. The prototype SWB front bushings should show up in the next week or so.
They fit inside the stock SWB suspension.

I've had to shave this bolt (12mm) and nut (4mm) down. My Fuchs in the rear are 16x6.5's and the tires are 195/55/16.. I added a 1/2 inch to the inside of the wheel.
If I was running 5.5's or 6's back there I would have been OK. I could run a 10mm spacer back there but I'm trying to avoid that. A 185/70/15, 195/65/15, 205/55/15, 205/50/15 on 5.5 or 6's should just bolt right up. The 16's have a square shoulder the 15's a rounder profile according to Harvey.
The fist wheel is a 6x16 the second my 6.5x16.

Here is Rebel S Racings first set of SWB front bushings. No rubber and no grease. If you contact Clint please let him know you saw them here, I told him I would try and get the word out.

Engine came out to try some new cams and change 1 or 2 gears in the transmission. The 2CAM4 removal was a breeze.
