Back to some Porsche work. Started stripping #3 getting ready for metal work. This one is a really nice rust free car as well as accident free 72. I know it’s a shame to butcher up a nice 72T.
Gauges and taking apart #3
I have most of the metal work on #1 project and metal work in progress on #2 project and #3 is now on the lift to start taking it apart. I got my gauges back from Joes speedometer, rebuilt, LED light, and custom faces. Look sweet!!
Massaging front bumper
Massaging my front bumper into an RSR bumper. I’m not a big fan of fiberglass.
Mocking up front suspension
Mock up of front suspension and wheel. Offset is -3
More body work
More body work today, welding in battery boxes, fuel lid and other holes. My aluminum front lid came today so got it mounted up and my fuel tank in so we can cut the hole in the front trunk lid.
Mocking up suspension
I started mocking up the front suspension to make sure everything fits. RSR Strut bodies, Elephant racing bushings, 930 rotors and 930 calipers.
Finishing up suspension reinforcements and fitting flares
Finished up all the suspension reinforcements except for a few that go inside by the center tunnel rear seat area. We put all the flares on and what a difference!! I’m starting to picture it in my mind. Finished up restoring the steering with a new Momo steering wheel.
Suspension reinforcements and cutting flares
Worked on most of the reinforcements today. Front and rear swaybar reinforcements, new rear swaybar mounts, rear torsion tubes and shock towers. We started cutting for the 11″ rear flares.
