Hi all,
My last post was 15 years ago this month. Meaning my youngest kid is now 15 years old. I have a 72 911 T that I am going to continue refurbishing, continuing what I started 15 years ago. Back then I thought G this Porsche is rusty, and I was debating what to do. In the ensuing 15 years I’ve seen other rustbucket reassembled, and with all the sheet-metal now available for patches this car just needs some patching and a repaint. Now that I have it truly apart I have discovered the floorboards are perfect, the lower windshield corners are outstanding, it’s got a couple of holes at the base of the door hinge posts some rot just in front of the rocker where 15 years ago I was able to knock a hole by being very aggressive with a pneumatic needle scaler. It has your typical under window rust on the driver side, but everything rearward of that is very sound. And I bought a used quarter panel 15 years ago. in the big picture, I am looking at some repair and refer, I don’t want to go to the Shell with a blast, too much money and ultimately takes too long, I’m no spring chicken and I want to drive it. Part of the challenge is finding a good and knowledgeable Porsche specialist who is ruling to do partial work, everybody wants to take it to the bare Shell for 50 grand. I’m not gonna do that. I want a real nice Driver that I don’t have to fret about a little wear and tear, a stone chip or a minor door ding. But I want it to be solid and well-built driver.
