Hey guys starting my build thread here for my 1966 912 3 gauge
This 912 my father and i found and purchased for a father son project, Ive never driven a 912 but have always been into the SWB 911/912's. We found this one on the samba for cheap enough to actually try to transform it into a car.
Since we picked up the car we have been doing rust repair along fixing the janky repairs the previous owners had done. We had the car sandblasted (interior and under) Aswell as taking apart the motor and getting it ready for a rebuild.
Good luck to you! I'm soon to be in the market for a longhood 911 or 912, though may be a 5 gauge, depending on price. I do have a question, as you also look fairly tall. I'm 6'4'' and concerned about headroom. I plan to go find one to test drive and test fit, but how's the room for you?

Thank you, as of for height, im 6'1, ive not had any seats in my 912, but based off of another early 911 headroom for me is very tight, unless your trying to keep the stock look there are other seats and seat mounting kits that will lower you in the car and can get you extra head room. Also make sure if your going for extra head room to stay away from the sunroof cars as they will steal about a inch and a half of head room.
Cheers. I’d likely be buying a future ‘rod, so I’m fine to lower seats. Definitely sounds like I need to find one to sit in....since I was full height, I’ve not owned anything that wasn’t a convertible sports car or SUV. Thank you for your answer
I know its been quite awhile since the last post but since then I have
Got the car completely to bare metal (minus decklid)
Repaired Front rust
cut floors out
Started fitting the floors
Tore the motor apart
And have been in the process of restoring and fixing many parts
