    the new shop truck/daily driver. just got it running and driving last friday. 87 3.2 w/webers, welded in a 73 911 rear torsion tube in place of the bus tube, then the 915 trans and rear suspension bolts right up. SC front brakes, 76 19mm m/cyl, rack and pinion steering, narrowed adjustable front beam. goes like stink. the engine lid is out getting some louvres punched in.

    07/08/03 john walker pic 7 shows the boxed rear frame area. just boxed it from the shocks back. the tank remains in the stock location, which is in a closed area in a doublecab, and not out in the open behind the engine like a normal bus. the nose of the trans needed some clearance into the lower rear of that closed area, so notch 6" wide by about 2' deep was cut, and then sheetmetal was bent and welded in to close the hole. this job took about a month of weekends, but i run a shop and had all the tools. i didn't take pics of the rack and pinion, but next time it's on the rack i will post some.
    07/08/03 John Skyrude Hi John
    This was really interesting.. Do you have som photos of the rack and pinion installation ?
    07/06/03 benmiguras hi
    after seeing your 911 bus it has spurred me to ask some questions
    did you have to reinforce the whole chassis before you put the engine in? also did you remove the fuel tank to put the engine which i think is much longer inside?
    me and my father have been thinking of increasing the engine capacity of our camper (which is on this website if you search under lowered) what advice would you give in reinforcing the chassis without replacing everything?
    please reply

    After much (too much!) effort, I finally got the hoops, slats, and canvas installed.

    I took a crappy front hoop and turned it into a mediocre rear one by welding on a new lower bracket. The bracket was fabbed from a piece of angle iron.

    For some reason, the lower front hoop bolt doesn't line up.
