Time for an update:

Finally, the car is away for paint. Soon it will be green again.



Can't wait to have it back.

Cheers

Got the 71 back from painting. Viper Green, here are some pictures.









As soon I got the engine installed in the Targa, I will jump on it.

Cheers

Here is a little update for the 911:

Assembled the tail lights. They are all LEDs.




Test fitted the rear bumper.


Made new brake lines, and installed them.




Also installed the brake calipers.


I started on the electrical system.


I had to take a break on the wiring and started to install the sound mats.


Back to the wiring.




Most of the harnesses are new and home made.


Cheers
Engelbert

Did you match the original Porsche wiring colors?
As always, amazing work.

I started a few pieces for the interior.

Made a new knee pad and test fitted the dash trim.





Refinished the dash trim with the same vinyl I covered the knee pad.





Finish installed.



Cheers

Time for an update.

The car is back together now. So below are some updates on the work I did.

Finished the tank, I upgraded to SC/Carrera gas tank.



Fitting the oil lines and second oil cooler.



The oil thermostat had one damaged fitting connection.





I got a repair sleeve and installed it.



I had the rear wheels widened by 1" at the inside. I started to refinish them. First polishing the outer lip.



Masking the polished lip and blasting the rest of the wheels.



Back to the interior. Got the dash pad back from recovering.



And got it installed. I had to tweak it a bit, but it came out OK after that.



Installed the engine sound pad, and made a new electrical panel.



Made and installed all new fuel lines.



Got all the dash wire sorted and install my gauges.



The battery mount and the electrical panel and wiring is coming together.



The headlights are installed.



The deck lid with custom grill and integrated 3rd brake light is installed.



I totally forgot about the fresh air system. So it has to done now.



The fan was coming apart, so I needed a new one.



Here it is after refinishing and ready to get installed.





It's time to install the engine.





More with the next post.

Cheers
Engelbert
