  Yeah, I'm a member but I only go there to look for parts. That has to be the most arrogant bunch of guys I've ever seen. They take real delight in picking apart other peoples cars. Whats funny is that they complain about the Ferrari guys being arrogant [roll]

I don't have a pic of the front without the fenders and hood, but here is one where I'm in the process of stripping off the old paint.


  And here is one of how it looked before I started. Looks a lot better than it was.

I always have a lot of respect for people who undertake this type of ground up restoration, I don't think I could do it, I don't think I would have the patience, I would want it done now!
Well done, looking good!  [thumbsup]

Looks pretty good.  Any rust in the typical areas?

I couldn't agree with you more! I do most of my posting on Pelican Parts!  [clap]

  I'm just about ready to put the doors back on and fit all of the seals. I'll post some pics as I go if your interested.

Put me down for "interested"  [popcorn] - more Porsche porn, please.

Great job, she looks beautiful already  [thumbsup]

Nevermind, went back to the first page and saw your patch panel.  Very nice work. [thumbsup]

  Got most of the parts back from the platers yesterday. Just like X-Mas!


Here is a pic of one of the things that took the longest to do. The carpet pad in these old cars was a 1/2" mat made of horse hair soaked in asphalt :o The entire rest of the interior was covered in what looked like roofing paper and asphalt.

Wow......what a project!

I had a '69 911 S.

5 speed coupe.

Biggest reason I got rid of it back in '70 was a problem I had w, the mechanical fuel injection.

I was getting oil in the gas.

The car bucked and stumbled badly under 3000 rpms in 1st gear .

I loved the S.

I thought it was really fast.....200 DIN hp.

The gear shifter felt like a stick in a bowl of spaghetti.

I even got a letter ( which I still have ) from Dr. Ferry Porsche congratulating me on the purchase.

A far cry from the Carrera S I last had.

I saw a fully restored '72 or '73 S offered for $135,000 just this last weekend.

You are going to have a beautiful car when it's all done.

Very cool.  [thumbsup]

I recently was lusting after a local 912 that was on eBay, same owner for 20+ years. Extremely nice car, well documented, pics of everything imaginable in the listing, only went for $16K.

   The "S" models probably aren't the best drivers. Everything has to be perfect for the engine to run right. But nothing else sounds like an "S" at 7,200 rpm ;D

it took me a few to figure out that the soft window folds down    (see's the light)

Very cool!
He man, where are all the ads?
