Looks FANTASTIC

Hi all,
A few more pics. I got some almost new trunk carpet, so that's done.
I'm still having fun identifying bits and pieces. (Thanks Damon.)
We need a few pieces. Anyone have the following?

911 531 563 01 clip (plastic clip that holds the interior door latch link) (1)

901 555 419 50 cover strip (note that they are missing in the pics. Covers edge of carpet at sill) (2 needed)

Black plastic beading on the front edge of the door panel. Left door panel only.

I assume Jane has the speakers and covers.

Lots of little details left. If you're bored and in the area, stop in.

Hey guys-
Just got in and saw this update and I just have to add, and I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, nor the last, that this is a most fantastic thing done by the Pelican community. Some of us, like me, aren't local, and our contribution has been limited to funds, others, who are more local, took the bull by the horns and made the it happen.

And what a difference you guys have made!

Your expertise, your talent, and your plain old hard work, have created a gem in the face of tragedy. Thankyou.

When it comes to unseen pure efforts, you guys are the definition.............

What a great community. There are no losers in this deal. You've turned a really tragic situation and made it a phenominal example of how the internet community can do meaningful real world good.

Thanks........

holy crap! i hope and pray there is some $ leftover for alot of beer. maybe some dinner.

Anything new?

Kudos to you boys. While many of us have contributed financially, it is great to see so many members here with that kind of talent. I know that Jane will always look at that car and beam with pride when thinking about those guys her husband would spend too much time with online.

I'm glad to be part of this unbelievable mass effort.

Regards,

June 11 update
 

Hi all,
Friday PM Damon, John and I attacked the rear window and trim. So far, the window is winning. Its been in and out at lease 3 times trying to get the trim right. Another attempt tomorrow or Monday. No wonder Porsche stopped making Targas.
I finally passed the CIS test. A crimped fuel return line hidden inside a sheath was the starting problem. Started it and got rid of all the mosquitos with in a hundred yards. Thought I had screwed up the engine. The muffler had a pint? of oil in it. Burned it out with an acetylene torch. Problem solved except for mosquitos. Continuing education I guess.

There are still some small upholstery issues. I need the black plastic beading for the front edge of the left door panel. I have to install the speakers in the doors and glue some loose pieces on the Targa top. New tires and some cleaning and it will be close to done.

I'm still looking for a small 11 blade fan or a large fan housing. (I have a large 11 blade fan). And maybe an external oil cooler system.

There is a photo of Jane on the NCR-PCA web site getting a "Taste of the track" in the red run group on 5/28/05 at NHIS in the DE section.

I am assembling a scrap book of photos and restoration memorabilia for Jane and her coffee table. I would like to take some of your comments on this BBS and appropriately include in her scrap book. She is very interested in all of you who have contributed resources and more. Could you please email me at cwlovell@comcast.net if you DO NOT want part or all of your post included in Jane's scrap book?
Thanks,
Chris L

You guys are amazing!

Need 11 blade fan
 

Hi guys,

We are still looking for an 11 blade fan for Jane's car (1976 2.7L). According to Ed the fan it has now measures 226mm.

You don't need to donate that fan (but of course that would be nice too) but help locating one for sale would be appreciated. We currently have a 245mm fan that was donated that we could trade.

Ed and I could use an education on fan updating as well i.e.
What year fan(s) would fit this motor?
Are there pully issues we need to be aware of?

Need external oil cooler setup
 

Jane will likely be doing some track events so we really need to add an external cooler without breaking the bank. Any leads on a setup or parts for adding and external cooler would be appreciated. We need the lines, the thermostat and the cooler.
thanks,
Chris

I most likely have a fan I can donate. I can check this weekend to make sure. I have either 2 or 3. I am using one on my 3 liter the others are in my garage somewhere.

Let me know if you still need it and I'll look for it this weekend.

Wow - not just a car - but a race car now - you guys are going above and beyond...

Yes, please look!
thanks,
Chris

Well not really. It's just Driver Ed.
It's a 2.7 so it doesn't have an external cooler.

Chris,
Good to see you about.
