1970 finally plated and out of garage

Well, I have been working on my 1970 911T for 1+ year now. Picked it up for peanuts from a dealer who didn't want to get it on its feet.

Thanks to the board, I was able to get the 2.2 running like a champ.

Starts up on first turn and purs like a kitten at idle.

Open the webbers and it growls like a 930.

Here is the result of the work and this boards knowlege base.

Thanks....Tom.

She's a butte, and right pretty too (sorry Firesign Theater). Those look like Riland homes. What part of Denver are you located? Targas are great touring cars. Two sets of golf clubs and enough stuff for a week on the road.

Silver,

I am up around the DIA area. All new.

I can hear Second Creak raceway from my house and whenever I hear the straight pipe air-cooled sound. I get out and watch some P-car racing.

I think the RMPCA has events up this way at second creek. May have to bring the 1970 out to an event soon.

Tom.

Tom, there's a DE coming up at Second Creek on July 10-11. It will be my first DE and should be a good time.
