I do have to point out that the car will not be running but I plan on making a very happy car with a bigger than stock motor.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Made a deal for a (mostly) stripped out 1971E Targa (what you don't see is the glass and doors that are included). Thats a total of 8 days without a 911. I'm never doing that again!
I do have to point out that the car will not be running but I plan on making a very happy car with a bigger than stock motor. First step is to replace out the suspension pan. After which any remaining rust spots will be replaced. I've already ordered the welder and will look at picking up a compressor Thursday night.
One photo for yous guys......
MORE PIX!!!!!!! I had a 73. I dont know what you have ever done. But you will be shocked how easy that car is going to go back together. Simple simple simple design.. Simple smart.
Damn I wish you lived closer so i could work on it with you.
Looks like a good start. I'm nearly finished with my 914 Limited Edition, took me 2 years from getting the car to where I'm now and I think in another month the car is on the road. What engine do you plan?
DUDE - It looks light as hell... dont add ANYTHING!
what did it set you back, does it have motor / trans ? Does that shop vac come with it?
are there (2) nuts holding the front wheel on??? OMG!! (that is some serious weight savings thinking!)
There is only one nut holding the whole thing together. When I was 24, and 25, and 26, I was the same nut. The good news is that you never waste any time with nothing to do.
OK - back in control...Man Ed - I am really amazed, there is NO WAY I could take on a project like that, I would have a garage full of parts and none of them would fit, then the whole re-sell and re-buy...it would take a lifetime to sort it out...
I have a co-worker that buys cars and rebuilds them in a really short time, I am always amazed how anyone can do it...best of luck and keep working till you get there
We're looking at Arctic Silver Metallic or an off white that has a slight tint of grey. Saw the off white at the Porsche swap meet and the wifey really liked the color. We did see an air cooled that had an almost Vesuvio Metallic color!
About the same time Guns N' Roses finishes that album they've been working on.
Move? There's a little rust near the pedals but good elsewhere on the pan.
The original color was signal orange, but I'm not going to be doing that one. Paint is pretty far ahead. I'm sure my opinion will change for or five times.
SC motor! I'm dreaming twin plug 3.4 like Hughes car, but will most likely want to get an engine in soon and live with a 3.0 or 3.2.
You bet
Three words, coated carbon fiber.... You'll see what I mean....
You like the dogs or not?
I've already purchase parts for it and they all fit!
very nice dog pic BTW
isnt it amazing how much smaller the "new" car is compared to your old one...my garage has WAY more space then before. What are some of youe son's thoughts... is he excited? does he have some plans, ideas....what a great way to gain respect for your car....build it!
awesome Ed
No, he's probably thinking "this stupid thing won't be ready for my 16th birthday ... and even if it was, dad probably won't let me breathe on it ..."
Cheers,

They all think I'm crazy, I've come to grips with that years ago. Heck even I think it myself sometimes. Right? Right, I agree 100%. Let's go get some water. Ok, I'm thirsty too.
He loves it and it's all we're talking about. On a lighter note he is well aware that it's not "his" car when he gets older. We've already talked about a Subaru WRX, fast and safe.... He's a pretty cautious kid so I'm not worried about him. It's the girls and their lead feet at the carting place that get me worried.
