Day 1 of 911R project...
We finally started on the 911R project and wanted to post a few pics. The car started out as a '70 911T sportomatic. It was always an Arizona car so there is no rust but all the seals and paint were DRY!!! The engine was recently rebuilt and the sporto is actually fun to drive. If anyone is looking for a nice 2.2L to replace a tired one or for a project... e-mail me!
The car will eventually get a 3.2 with a 915 and bodywork to simulate a long wheelbase 911R. I'll post more pics as things progress.  This was a great time to give the dogs a ride in the car!      [img] http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads3/Resize+of+IMG_13971089788313.jpg[/img]

I am pretty sure I am going to stay with white. The original color appears to be the "eggshell" white so I may take it back to that. It is off to the bead blaster later this week then I can assess any body work that will need to be done. After that, I am going to paint my first car! I figure white is the easiest color to paint so why not learn how. This should be a very interesting process and I will be sure and keep the list updated.

It is a 1970 so it is already a long wheelbase and I intend to leave it that way.

I just removed the paint code plaque and the original color was 1111 light ivory! I think I will keep the car that color.
