Continue:

I had this 993 heat cross over pipe still attached to the engine as I had it installed in the 84 Targa as a loaner, until I needed it back for the 71.



The long hood rear bumper just don't have enough space for anything, especially with the 3.6 and still having the 964 engine console.

I got this GT3 muffler and it was the plan to use it for the 71 together with the 3.6 engine.



This will be a future project to implement it, and I decided to take a different way for the time so I can finish the car.

With the heat cross over pipe removed, I use a Magnaflow cross muffler I had and made some connection pipes from the 993 heat exchanger to the muffler.





I made the exit below the bumperettes. Here is it all fitted and finish welded.



I blasted and Cerakoted the whole thing except the end pipes.







This will do for now.

Back to the Frunk area. Installed the gas tank and some other bits and pieces.





Finally mounting tires on the finished wheels.





It still sits a little high, but that will be adjusted during alignment.



So I had to make some linkages for the door pulls. Here temporarily with black pulls which will be replaced with another color.





First door panel is done.



Also finished the gas door and make a protective flap from leather. Why not ?



Since I like my frunk line so much I did on the other 2 cars, I could not leave this alone.





The hood got a custom crest.



Finally time to do the alignment with the new setup I made last year.



Finishing the doors.



Also finishing the rest of the dash and interior.









Here are a few more pictures.











Cheers
Engelbert

You. Are. My. Hero!

Question:With the exhaust tips so close to the fiberglass rear bumper, isn't that going to burn the fiberglass?

Good grief this is beautiful work. And I love the key!

I did a few little things on the green 911. I made a label for the custom fuse setup, also labeled the relays. I installed the windshield washer tank, and made new aluminum door lock pulls.

Here are some pictures:

Turn signal flasher relay, and High beam flasher relay. These are normal located behind the dash. I relocated them to the fuse box.

The 71 has original only the horn relay next to the fuse box. See image below.
