Project '71 911T Update
 

Finally I started again on my '71 911T. Below are some pictures of the work I did so far.

I disassembled the sunroof and motor and all the hardware, and I'm thinking welding the sunroof part in. I would cut out the sheet metal which is on the inside so I can install a normal head liner. Did anyone do a conversion like this ? and is there anything I need to know?

I try to avoid any leak problems later, and since I want to build this one for autocross, I don't need the sunroof.

Thanks for any feedback !

Looks like you're petty handy?

Welcome to the board...

Dude, I change my own oil and mess with the valves. I'M handy. This guy is "qualified."

Nice work - welcome.

Thanks for the reply !

I will post more pictures as I progress.

Ditto on "qualified"! Keep the pics coming! Would love to know what the particulars on your project are (engine, suspension, flares, etc.)? Also, what part of Virginia are you in? I'm in the Richmond area.

Nice work.

Applauding restoration of a longhood!!

Good work and welcome aboard!

I love the color schemes for the pre 74 cars and yours is no exception. What it is called ?

Nice Garage! What's the black car?

Markus, that looks like Conda Green to me. :)

The black one is my '90 Ford T-bird Supercoupe, still original.

This may be a dumb question but what kind of welder are you using?

rothaus -

I also have a green '71. My color is Signal Green which, therefore, is The One True Green. Conda green is slightly brighter and has a bit more yellow in it. Can't really tell from the photo which you have, but most likely it's Conda. Signal Green was a factory special order color - I've been driving my car for almost 34 years and have only seen one other, so it's rather rare.

Edit to add link. Here 'tis:

I'm using a mig welder with shielding gas. See below.

Mine is the lighter green, Conda. I planned to make the car red, however, after some input and thinking, I decided to keep it the same color.
