POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

[Chris Pomares]

2 transmissions are next. My car was running A, GA, N, U, ZD. I'll pick up 2 transmissions from the owner of this car when I deliver his original engine for storage. Each of those transmissions have gears we need. I also just acquired 2 C first gears. Once done mine will run C, GA, N, V,ZD and the 69 car will run C, GA, O, V, ZD. Both will have Wavetrac TBD's, In a perfect world we would run C, HA, N or O, V, ZD. GA is close to HA without the expense of a 904 main shaft and another rare gear.

When the transmissions are done there will be some gears and parts available along with a 70-71 case.

Here is the original Ultra Blue the car came in. It is going back to that color.

splendid color

[Chris Pomares]

I agree. I think it will come out very nice.

I just mounted the car on a Stoddard dolly.

[Chris Pomares]

Engine installed. Heat! Hope to start in the next day or so.
Trans got 2 different gears, syncros, bearings, and a aluminum intermediate plate.

We just came out with a slightly altered engine mount. If you are building a 912 POLO and there are about a dozen who are around the world, these can be ordered. I'll post to reSee Works in about 2 weeks. The one with green tape on it is the original one.
The picture of the installed engine above still has the original one. The strait part in the middle on the new one is about 2 inches longer on each side.

@chris
nice work...
do you also have the adjusted engine tin available?

best regards from Bavaria

Most of the tin is stock 911. The side pieces are shortened. We will make up a nicer rear piece for this next POLO car being taken back to Ultra Blue from Beige. We'll look at the cost and see if it's a item we can make available.
We're also making a buck to make an aluminum curved licence panel. It should be much nicer than this fiberglass one. In time those items will show up on our site.
We just sold another pair of recliners. We've been selling about one set a month. Their not a big seller but it fills a need. I only make them in aluminum now as the steel ones eat up our tools too fast. Here is a one of one chrome set. There on my car. The chroming alone cost more than what we sell the aluminum recliners for.

Be careful with tall first gears, very hard on clutches and starts, hard to drive.

912 POLO #3 in Europe. My car is #1, the 901 Shop in FL is #2, and now #3. I'll have another one on the road by fall. I don't know if it will be #4 as there are a handful more in different stages of completion in the US, Europe, and maybe Asia.
