So my plan for this car is to utilise the 915 gearbox that I already have. I bought the box some 20 odd years ago to put in my Karmann Ghia along with the big Type 4 engine that's also getting fitted, but a change in direction has meant that it's been sitting around collecting dust waiting for an appropriate project to put it in. 

I've long been on the lookout for a Porsche 914 without an engine and gearbox to give me somewhere to use the big Type 4 motor that I originally built for the Type 34. But apart from taking a gamble and importing a project from the USA into Australia, 914's just don't come up for sale too often over here, and never as a reasonable car without engine and box.
