So... Whats the litte differences from a Covin to a 911?
Obviously one is fibreglass, but it looks like most real 911 glass fit the cars.
Some have water-cooled engines, some flat 4's...
Its like a 911 but with out the rusty kidnybowls and front skuttle.

Will handle slightly differently too!
However this project is more about having some fun along the way as far I can see it.

True to its roots you MUST have a proper deck lid stand off...

What about size details?
Is it shorter? wider?
Like the 356 beetle kits differ in size from Chesil to others?

Re: Covin narrowbody backdate- Nein12
narrower track and about 3/4 inch difference in the wheelbase (a bit shorter than a lwb 911). body tub is essentially the same overall dimensions - the front wings, bonnet, front bumper, deck lid, doors glass etc are all interchangable with 911/912

its a 1600cc ford cvh injected lump. Good for about 105bhp but the car only weight 850kg so on a par with a 912. I've also got a fruity rotary engine rated for around 150bhp, with adaptor plate to mate to the vw gearbox.
