It is getting the parts from the car pictured below. Realistically, probably won't be completely done for around 2-2 1/2 years but the car will lose the torsion bars and go to coilovers, fuel cell, cage, big reds, etc (car will be built to run PCA). The motor that is in the car below is a 3.4 with all the goodies also gets the 915 gearbox (unless a good cheap g50 comes around)... engine guestimated to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 310-320 horsepower and the car when done should come in around 2200lbs dry w/o a driver so it should be pretty fun. If I eventually have the money to change to fiberglass panels and take a little more time to lighten it car should come in at just over 2000 lbs dry.
The car pictured below is currently stripped to the frame and is going to be as light as physically possible. Will be put together with 993 style fiberglass bodywork, all titanium bolts. Rear Floor, seat area, firewall, dash all being cut out and replaced with aluminum. Car should come in at just over 1900 lbs dry... and for the best part... there is a fully built 3.8RS motor purchased from Vision Motorworks going in this car that dyno'd 347@the wheels in the previous car it was in that will be mated to a G50. This car also has the full catalogue of suspension components including coilovers. Should be a nice little cup car killer
