Replaced the Clutch cable. Removed it from where it connects to the front of the tunnel, then pulled it out through the rear. Fed the new one in and reconnected it at the front.



Cleaned out the fuel filler and replaced the fuel filler flap



Replaced the rear deck lid strut with pelicans dual heavy duty strut! These two shocks are easy to install and hold the lid up with no struggle



New fuel pump and fuel lines with correct banjo fitting



New fuel pump and fuel lines installed



New fuel tank Installed from Porsche, reused the Vdo fuel level sending unit, Rust clean up will follow on front battery tray



Painted the rear engine compartment

You need 17 to 20 turns on the clutch cable into the clevix in order to be able to adjust the clutch without running out of threads in the rear.

Nice thread. Thanks for posting. curious about the 2.7 rebuild you are going to do. You could add 9.5 JEs,40 mm carbs, E cams, SSI 2 in I out muff. but would that give you the 230 hp you requested? Wouldn't that be 200 to 210? best

Awesome thread. I just started the rebuild of my 77. Going to go with a 3L engine. Fuel tank is out getting cleaned, that was the first step after collecting the pieces and parts from the seller. Was debating about whether or not to go with the wide body look. Afte seeing yours... Done! It's going to happen!

I have everything in and fitted. I matched it up pretty good to where it was before. Just waiting to get the engine back then with the transmission in I'll adjust it and sug up the nut to the clevix! I hope I have it pretty close!

I know we are running Pmo carbs, Mahle p&c's, different cams, SSI not to sure what else but it should be pretty close... I hope If not I'll have to add some stickers! They ad hp right

The fuel tank along with the lines and the correct banjo fitting can be quite a task! After scratching your head a few times and taking a break it can all be done!

Fuel lines are going in with the fuel filter and the crank case breather.
Big thanks to Len Cummings at Auto Sport Engineering for making some lines for me from the tunnel lines up! These were direct fit!



Modified oil catch can will be going in next!

[911Shoes]

Installed the Crank case breather after shortening it 2 inches and putting a new hose fitting on it from 1.5 inch to 1 inch to accommodate a 1 inch hose from the oil tank to the breather, Then changing out the drain fitting from a straight to a 90 degree brass fitting for easier routing.

I had it listed to see what interest it would build, it's no longer on ebay. However if someone offers the right amount I would let it go to start another.

Very nice car! If I was in the market I'd be all over it. Good luck with sale!
