Gotta take the good with the bad.
The bad: Body guy found some bad rust at the corners of the back window so some new metal is on order. The good: The motor is almost done. Just waiting on my PMO carbs👍🏽👍🏽 ![]() ![]() ![]()

Haven’t posted any update in a while. I’ve been patiently waiting on the paint and body. Here it is all primed and ready for color.

Thank guys.....
Right now I'm sorting through the stack of boxes of parts I collected over the last few years. I'm also wrapping the fenders and doors to put them in storage to avoid scratching anything while I install the other stuff |

I'm local to you so if you ever need a hand I would be willing to help. No experience rebuilding a 911 but I'm good at following directions.

Killer color for a South Florida car !! I wonder what your plan is for the wiring harness of a 50 year old car ? Lots of luck forward ..

I've had a whole new harness made for the entire car . Just hope it works out for the better as I don't like doing electrical work in cars other than a car stereo. |

I've never been able to fit 2 cars in this garage but due to Hurricane Milten I had to try. Thank god Milt missed us however it was an eye opener to do some reorganizing in here. The cars are about 6 inches apart. Can't wait to put some serious wrenching time into this. #hurricanesuck

I'm actually considering getting the dollies. I'm first going to pull out the entire suspension to clean, paint, and refurb it all. Once that's all covered, I'll probably go with the dollies. I actually thought of building a set. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Spent close to 3 hours removing most of the rear suspension. Those 50 year old bolts didn’t want to cooperate. Looking forward to cleaning, inspecting ,and upgrading it all. Last edited by AutoXer23; 11-25-2024 at 11:06 AM.. Reason: typo |

Great job so far, and getting close now. It's a long process restoring these cars.

![]() Changing gauge glass and painting trim rings Of course when I finish the last one there was a tiny dirt speck on the inside of the tach lens. Tried to leave ignore it but couldn’t let it go. Had to take it apart 😂😂 Does anyone know where I can get a replacement lens for the clock? |
